I recently went to brunch with two of my favorite people.I don’t see them often so it was a treat to see them.

Conversation around the table was lively, challenging, and sometimes heated. We talked about race relations, denominational differences, our own spiritual journeys, and the church’s role in eradicating poverty. As we parted, my mind was reeling with ideas. I was excited to explore my response to their thoughts and convictions. I ended up with a fresh perspective on God’s redemptive work in the world through the church.

Is this what Solomon means when he says “get wisdom; get understanding”? Maybe one way we “hold on” to God’s words and get wisdom and understanding is by engaging one another over delicious food and lively conversation about faith. I think that is LIVING!
