The fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding; it is to understand the great power of God. It is in the transformation of man, when he has received the grace and favor of God. Blessings.

Francisco Diaz S.: To be wise in spirit is to be humble, to act with justice, to avoid unnecessary disputes and confrontations, to understand and not judge those who are close to us, to convince with good words and not to impose, to live in peace with God and with ourselves. - Let us ask the Lord for wisdom.

LUPE SANCHEZ
: A very enriching and practical message. I long for wisdom from above because, as a human being, I have sometimes allowed myself to be carried away by my own thoughts, and the consequences have been painful. When I first seek wisdom from God to make a decision according to His will, I haven't even gotten around to doing anything because the Lord Himself takes control of the situation. In His grace, He moves people, and many times I have been joyfully surprised by the results, to the glory of the Lord.
