“The fruit of the righteous is the tree of life, and the wise acquires life.” — Proverbs 11:30 a.m

The postman became worried when she saw that the mailbox of one of her customers was full. She knew that the elderly woman lived alone and usually took the press away. Making a wise decision, the post office worker told the woman’s neighbors about her concern. It turned out that one of them had a spare key to her house. Together they entered the apartment of an elderly woman and found her lying on the floor. She fell four days ago and could not get up to call for help. The wisdom, care and determination of the postman probably saved the life of a single woman.

In the Book of Proverbs it is said: “A wise man gains life” (Prov. 11:30). The understanding that comes when we do right and live according to God’s wisdom can bless not only ourselves but also those we meet. The fruit of a life that glorifies God can bring blessings to others. It also motivates us to care for others and care for their well-being.

As the author of the Book of Proverbs states, wisdom can be found if we rely on God. Wisdom “is better… than pearls, and all jewels are not equal to it” (Prov. 8:11). The wisdom that God gives us accompanies us throughout our lives. It can save lives for eternity.

How can you find wisdom to help someone today? How much do you value wisdom?

Heavenly Father, please give me the wisdom to follow Your ways and follow Your instructions. Help me to care for others.
