We've not yet seen an economy really got down the drain. We've not seen an entire world go to war. We've probably not had to deal with death very much. Consequently, we are rather sure of ourselves as a generation. Yet with all our learning we have somehow forgotten to get wisdom.
Wisdom is something our Grandparents had in abundance.
That's why they made the altar a priority. That's why they loved God's house. They learned that even after you lose it all, there is still One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills. They learned that even when everything comes crashing down all around you there is still a place to be found in the Rock that is higher than I. They learned through the school of hard knocks what really matters in life. God told her more in the privacy of her prayer closet than I ever learned in Bible College.
