Proverbs 18:4
I enjoy taking walks in the woods because you can't not miss God's awesome power in all of his creations. One of the most peaceful features in the woods is a babbling brook. Its sound is so soothing and refreshing. Sit down near a stream and close your eyes. The sound soothes and relaxes you to where you troubles seem to melt away. Entrepreneurs have marketed the sound and made small fountains that mimic the sound of flowing water to relieve stress. Clearly, there is a large demand for such sounds and its effects are well known.
Solomon defines the wellspring of wisdom as the same. The wellspring, or source, of wisdom is our creator. And when He gives us wisdom, we are at peace. Many will try to duplicate it but nothing compares to the origional. In fact Jesus tells us in John 4:14 - But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Do you have the well of eternal life within you? Are you providing the stream to others? As it flows from us, it gives peace to those around us. Start your own babbling brook within you so that others may find peace from your Father's wellspring.
