Ecclesiastes 8:1
"Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed."
There is nothing like wisdom to help us figure out (somewhat) what life is about. Wisdom helps open our eyes to see what life seasons in all their drama and hilarity actually mean. Wisdom helps go beyond the surface to interpret what is actually going on in and around our lives. Even Solomon, according to this verse, can't find a person to compare with a truly wise soul - someone who has taken the time to search for the truth and ask God for His perspective and heart over people and situations and life. The most beautiful part of it all? Wisdom makes you look good! Your countenance is lifted, and the heaviness that comes from confusion, mystery and feeling lost and hopeless is taken away because of the sweetness of wisdom in your eyes and heart. Wisdom softens what the hardness of life can sometimes reflect on our faces.
Pursue her, Wisdom, and she will make your face shine like the sun and you will light up every room you walk into, bringing joy and peace and hope to all those you come across in your day.
Selah.
