Lent Photo A Day #21: Wise

March 11th's theme is Wise.  When I asked the girls, "who do you think is wise?"  They, of course, said an owl!  Hence the photo below.  I think as Christians we all strive to be wise in the ways of the Bible & we study & learn many wonderful things about our faith.  We may even start to feel that we are wise. Herein lies the problem, if we are seeking to be wise in our own eyes or so that others will notice us, then we fall into the great trap of pride.  We should fear God first & foremost & turn from evil, then & only then can we truly be wise.

Proverbs 3:7New International Version (NIV)

"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil."
