the gift

Monday January 5th, Sirach 24: ‘Then the Creator of all things gave me a command, and my Creator chose the place for my tent. He said, “Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.” In Sirach, the one speaking here is wisdom. It is a gift to the people of God. It is a gift to be used and nourished, a gift to be sought. It is a gift through which the wonders of God are revealed. No wonder Lutherans have so many colleges and schools. We love to discover the wonders of God. Learning should be life long and not just for a job.
