Why is it that a wise man can quiet a room. Just the sound of his voice, silence the souls of many. It is such an incredible phenomenon.
Today in class, Wilbur Williams (a professor in his 80's) came to give us a little piece of his life. As soon as he uttered his first word, my mind shut off the world. I was in his full attention, mouth hanging wide open; complete loss of any control. The wisdom that flowed from this man was insane, like nothing I had ever experienced. Story after story, tale after tale, words of inspiration and Godly challenges continued to overflow from him. Time ran out and class was over. I had not heard enough, I longed for more. I desired answers to difficult questions, more life lessons and observations from his 80 years of life. But time was up.
As I walked back to my room, I thought of all the profound knowledge I had just received.I realized how valuable and rich wisdom is. Wisdom that only comes from the Lord himself. I too desire such strong and powerful wisdom in my life. What a beautiful thing.
Proverbs 8:11-"For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her."
