I read today in Ecclesiastes where King Solomon said...
"The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails given by one shepherd". 12:11 (Italics and emphasis mine)
I read this several times...."firmly embedded nails". The weight of these words struck me powerfully..."The words of the wise are like....firmly embedded nails...". I thought of how when you'r reading the Bible and you see a truth...it leaps off the page...and for the rest of your life some things will occur to you as filtered through that truth. I thought of how those words affect my view of life....my decision making.
Sometimes I get wisdom from friends, inspiration from a good book or a revelation in a song writers lyrics. Some of these things have stuck like "firmly embedded nails".
It matters where I go to get my truths.
