Wisdom and Anger
Series Description
Wisdom calls to us. It invites us to listen, seek understanding, and search for truth as hidden riches. Scripture shows that those who walk in wisdom find clarity in confusion, steadiness in uncertainty, and security in the fear of the Lord. Wisdom shapes our lives and leads us along steady paths that aren't shaken by circumstances. Though spoken long ago, the ancient wisdom of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Psalms still calls to us today. Will we listen?
