The Shepherd |
Gallery Tour, Wisdom is your tour guide - I painted this painting when my children were young. Many times when my children were in danger, I stayed close to the shepherd. I lead them on my knees. This is an oil painting and it was inspired out of the need of allowing the shepherd to break one of my lamb's legs and carry him close to his heart. I learned to walk very close to the shepherd during that time, I might have learned more than my lamb and maybe the lesson was for his mother.
Re-Stringing Pearls of Wisdom
My Son, Immediate justice is not always the right way or wisdom. Survey the situation, if there is an offense, pray for our neighbor, then you will gain understanding. He hurts himself more than he does anyone else. Be slow to act and fast to forgive.
His enemy is within himself. He needs your help. Pray for him, he isn't able to do it for himself.
Words Solomon learned at his mother's knee.
Proverbs 11:12-15
He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his peace. A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter. Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. He who is suety for a stranger will suffer, but one who hates being surety is secure.
