Being WISE is knowing…
Having less size and strength do not make you weak.
No matter who your enemy is you are always stronger with God, because strength is not on the outside it is on the inside.
It is with this WISDOM that we have courage.
Courage is being afraid and taking action anyway to do what is right.
God’s way is always the right way.
All creation cried out with longingWith groans only You could comprehendAnd with wisdom, You always answerAnd give the words of life so unfailing
And Your glory shines all around usYour faithfulness shown for all to seeWhen we think of all of Your wondersThe beauty of Your plan that's been revealedWe walk in Your light, we walk in it
