The beginning of knowledge.

let the wise listen
and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance —

for understanding proverbs
and parables, the sayings
and riddles of the wise.

The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 1; 5 -7

The Wisdom(Jesus) in the beginning

“The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;

I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began.

When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water;

before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,

before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world.

I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,

rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

“Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.

Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.

Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.

But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”

Proverbs 8;22-36

Thinking of Christ, our Lord at the period of a Lent

The “Lent” is the 40 weekdays from the Ash Wednesday  to Easter Sunday. In this period Christians do think about what Christ had done to save us:  the life of Christ, the teaching of Christ,  the suffering on the cross, and the resurrection and more.

This year “The Lent” started on February 18 which is called Ash Wednesday and last on  April 4.

Thank you and  Have a Blessed Day!
