Shepherd Notes June 2026
Wisdom to spend your Summer with!
Proverbs is full of God’s wisdom for our everyday live. I encourage you to read more about it this Summer.
1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
3:13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,
9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
17:24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
For students of the Bible, wisdom isn’t hard to find. The parables of Jesus place wisdom right before our eyes. The Ten Commandments also place wisdom right before our eyes as does the book of Proverbs, the epistles of Peter and Paul, and many other Scriptures address wisdom.
For students of the Bible, wisdom isn’t hard to find. The challenge we face as Christians is to be discerning and keep Biblical wisdom in view. It’s in our proud and selfish nature to look away from the wisdom God lovingly sets before us in His holy Word and seek it out where it cannot be found. Jesus once compared those who fail to keep Biblical wisdom in view to a man who built his house on sand. That house soon fell with a great crash.
Thanks be to God that Jesus was able to see wisdom in the cross. He saw how the cross would be in accord with His Father’s holy will. He saw how the cross would be beneficial to the people He loved – us. As the Lamb of God, He kept that wisdom in view as He sacrificed Himself to pay the debt for all the times our wandering eyes have lost sight of holy wisdom, and we instead chose the foolishness of sin.
Thanks be to God for our wise and merciful Savior and for our life-giving baptism in His Name. As spring gives way to summer, may the Holy Spirit inspire you to remain a student of the Bible. May He enable you to keep Biblical wisdom in view so that you live in accord with your heavenly Father’s holy will. May He strengthen you to live in a way that continues to make you a blessing to others.
May you continue in God’s Word and Worship throughout the entire Summer!!!! Amen.
