Written by Elizabeth J. Canham, a contemporary pastor and writer.  This is an excerpt from her work “Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?”

Wisdom is not limited to the ivory towers of a privileged few but is revealed in all walks of life for any who live in righteousness, justice, equity, and prudence. Wisdom comes into the heart of all who embrace God’s way.

Prayer:

Today’s prayer is from the Sarum Primer, a book of prayers and Christian worship resources from the 1500s, collected at the Salisbury Cathedral.

O God,

you count the number of the stars,

and call them all by their names.

Heal the contrite in heart,

gather together the outcasts,

and enrich us with the fullness of your wisdom;

through Christ our Lord. Amen.
