Psalm 51 Verse 7: For behold, you look for truth deep within me, and will make me understand wisdom secretly.

I’m a learner from the beginning of my life. I wanted to know what made the sky blue and grass green. I became teacher because I taught Sunday school in Longview, Washington as a sophomore in college and enjoyed watching the kids learn. I have investigated, questioned, and pursued wisdom for all of my life. I wonder about the creation of our planet, solar system, and galaxy. I believe in God, but I want to know why we have been created and placed on this planet? My faith does not question the existence of God or heaven or hell. But I am curious as to why we cannot “just get along” with each other. I understand enough physics to believe the “Big Bang” has purpose and order in the universe. So I pray often for the truth deep within me, amazing and awesome. I am pleased that God will make me understand wisdom, although I am not sure about the secrecy.  Daily I ask for the wisdom to know my purpose in life as God wants it; my reason for living. I have things to accomplish, known and unknown, and often I am unaware that I have achieved them. I reason with my Lord to be informed more. I feel He has been very generous with me. I have talents and I use them when asked and when I am directed by God. So I thank you Lord for the wisdom deep within me and the understanding of wisdom which is kept secret.
