Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is some wisdom that can be gained in living and meditation, and some that can be gained from books and schools.

Solomon here has prayed for this gift, and has found all good things that come with it. By human effort, we can gain some wisdom, but great wisdom can only come as a gift. By human effort, great accomplishments in countless fields are possible, but we always seem to discover limits to the possibilities we can dream of.
