Wise women
by Daily Grace

“Nevertheless wisdom is vindicated by all her children.” (Luke 7:35)

A wise woman once told me, “when you’re seeking after God, go deep in your own heart and you will find God has been seeking after you.” Wisdom that guides me regularly comes from women of many generations, including elders in the church. I have also gleaned uncommon wisdom out of the mouths of babes. I know that these encounters reveal the voice and presence of God in our midst. Wisdom is a gift from God that also springs up from within us. Wisdom is sometimes knowing something from deep within your soul.

This message is adapted from “Faith reflections: Wisdom of women” written by Linda Norman that first appeared in the May 2010 issue of Cafe.
