Are You She That He Findeth: Intelligent?

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels (Proverbs 1:5).

Behind every intelligent man is a wise woman. You don’t have to have a Ph.D. in Genetic Engineering to become wise. Yes, you may have been a quick and an apt learner and learning any subject matter has never been a challenge for you, but wisdom comes or should come as we age. As we get older, we should learn to make better decisions before acting on them. Thoroughly weighing the consequences of each decision, knowing that EVERY decision has an indirect and direct impact on you, your family, and your environment. A wise woman does not merely make decisions for the time being, she thoroughly considers the legacy she will leave behind after her departure. She knows the decisions she makes today can greatly impact her unborn children or her future tomorrow.

A wise woman edifies and adds to. She is not only a complement to her surroundings, but to her man, as well. She is always seeking to meet a need by asking, “What can I do…?” or “How can I…?” She looks for ways to better a situation. And when she leaves an environment, edification is her legacy.

Following, are some characteristics of a wise woman:

·        She is always thinking and planning ahead.

·        She doesn’t parade her wisdom as being a “Know it all,” but she discretely uses it to edify others.

·        She enters almost every situation, whether it be appealing or not, asking, “What can I learn from this?”

·        She has learned to be content in all things.

·        She has learned to listen to wise counsel and take constructive criticism without becoming defensive.

XOXO,

Jay
