Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!
This coming Sunday is the Fourth Sunday After Epiphany. Scripture Readings are:
Deuteronomy 18:15-20 God will raise up a prophet after Moses
1 Corinthians 8:1-13 Concerning food offered to idols
Mark 1:21-28 A man with an unclean spirit is healed in Capernaum
Psalm 111 The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom
Wisdom in the Bible and the idea that fearing God is the source of wisdom, is interesting to explore. The biblical Hebrew word for wisdom is chokmah or hokma. In Latin, the word is sophia,. In Proverbs 8:22-31, we find a feminine personification of wisdom.
The notion of fear is complex in the context of ancient Israel, so that is worth exploring. It is much more about placing one’s trust in a higher power. What notion of fear do you view as a source of wisdom? How do you notice Jesus showing wisdom? (The Gathering 2023/2024)
