Choosing How We Shall Live

Uncommon Wisdom

Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year B

This week, the lectionary text features three different couplets from Proverbs 22, all of which point us toward how to engage wisdom-driven decision-making in our daily lives.

Proverbs 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23

In the same way that Wisdom herself is our companion in a time of need, the Proverbs are meant to be called upon when we need guidance for life. When the rubber meets the road, what Proverbs will we call upon? Will we settle for common wisdom or press ourselves to strive for the uncommon?
