Wisdom is not gained by
knowing what is right. Wisdom is gained by practicing what is right, and
noticing what happens when that practice succeeds and when it fails. Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor
As we wind down and wrap
up the week with Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, recall our four-step process with
her wisdom.
First, read the quote
above and name/notice your response.
Second, re-read the
quote, letting the wisdom intersect your life ~ what truths have you gained
this week by practicing God’s insight ~ both in ways that blessed you and broke
you open?
Third, sit quietly with
her words, letting them sink and settle into your soul.
Fourth, how might you
live the wisdom you have encountered today?
Be practical and write down your thoughts.
Let us pray:
God of wisdom that is
still at work in the world around us and the world within us. Thank you for the words/work/wisdom of Rev.
Barbara Brown Taylor. Thank you for her
ongoing prophetic and powerful voice in this world. Help us, O God, let the quotes we have met
this week marinate within us. Let our
morning meditations be like a river over the stone of our souls, smoothing our
rough places and guiding us in the Holy Flow of You. As we continue the season of Lent, may these
days shape our faith, connecting us with You, others, and ourselves in new ways
we need in the wayless way of today.
Amen.
