Another Pharaoh summoned them to do miracles against Moses and Aaron...

Moses chose wise men to help with the governing of the tribes as they were in the desert journeys.....

Solomon asked for wisdom.....rather than riches....

The books of Proverbs and ecclesiastes  have many descriptions of a wise men...

Wise men sought the child, Jesus......they were wise not only because they sought him but heeded warnings about their return....

Joseph, was a wise man, who heeded the warnings and took great care of his wife and her Son.....

We are asked to seek wisdom, to be wise.....to show and live the qualities of wisdom in the book of James......

I need to seek that wisdom daily, seeking Him, relentlessly,.....I want that same wisdom as the wise men who sought the child, Jesus, until they found him, presented their gifts...which were His due....discerning, understanding, pondering, heeding, listening, asking....from the Wisdom giver himself....

Thank YOU that you give wisdom  to those who seek it....help me the humble myself in order to ask, seek, find, and use it wisely....
