"The words of a man's mouth
are as deep waters,
and the wellspring of wisdom
as a flowing brook."
How many of us have really given this some serious thought/contemplation? I have been dwelling and meditating upon it lately, and have understood it to mean that what we say and read reveals plenty about not only what fascinates us, but that it also says something about our character (and, in some cases, the lack thereof).
For example, I'll use Matt (our 9-star PB General). Look at the wealth of knowledge our brother has with regards to theology.
Yet, the impression that I get from him is that he
never rests on his laurels.
Then we come to someone like a fool who does not (and will not) listen to reason. Proverbs has a plethora of examples of unrepentant fools -- not so much in namesake, but in character and attributes. Even more shocking is that when I view things in retrospect, I was just as bad (and probably worse).
Thoughts, anyone?
