Nagbabasa ako kanina sa Book of Proverbs, at bigla akong napatanong sa isip ko kung ano ang kaibahan ng WISDOM at INTELLIGENCE. 🧠

𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴.

𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

Tapos ang sunod ko namang tanong isip ko: Bakit kaya mas hiniling ni King Solomon kay Lord na magkaroon ng WISDOM kaysa intelligence❓

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲.

𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺.

While I was reflecting on this, bigla ko tuloy naalala 'yung eksena sa novel ko na So, This is Youth (quotes sa picture) kung saan pinagsabihan ni Golda ang classmate niya:

"𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗯𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗼."

And in that moment, I had a gentle reminder from GOD why WISDOM is WHAT WE MUST PURSUE.

Sa mundo, palagi nating pinapalakpakan ang matatalino. We give medals to the academic achievers, trophies to the quiz bee champions, and promotions to those with degrees and dazzling credentials. 🥇

Society places such a high value on intelligence, and rightly so! I'm not saying it's wrong to be smart. In fact, we're called to be excellent.

But I've been thinking...is that all there is❓

Kasi ang totoo... hindi pala lahat ng matalino ay mabuti. 🙂

Aside from that, the smartest people can also make foolish decisions ('yung kasabihang "matalino ka nga, bobo ka naman sa pag-ibig, o mataas nga IQ mo mababa naman ang EQ or emotional intelligence mo" and so on).

Sometimes, the one who never topped a class holds the kind of understanding that changes lives.

Sabi sa Proverbs 9:10,
✨ "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝
𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦." ✨

Not the beginning of intelligence. Not brilliance. Because wisdom starts with HUMILITY before God.

You see, intelligence is knowing how to build a house. Wisdom is knowing how to make it a home.

Intelligence can win debates.

Wisdom knows when silence is more powerful.

Intelligence may impress people. Wisdom impacts lives.

God doesn't frown upon intelligence. In fact, binigyan Niya tayo ng utak para makapag-isip, makalikha, at makapagsaliksik.

Pero ang mas malahaga sa Kanya ay hindi 'yong gaano tayo kagaling sa math o science, kundi iyong gaano tayo kalalim sa relasyon natin sa Kanya.🤍😊

God is not looking for minds filled with facts, He's looking for hearts filled with reverence o pusong tamang takot at pagkilala sa Kanya bilang Diyos na may alam ng lahat.🤍

Let's go back to King Solomon, when God asked him for whatever he wanted. He could've asked for riches, power, or genius-level IQ. But he asked for WISDOM, because he knew leadership isn't just about strategy. It's not just about being great or smart, but it's about DOING GOOD.✨

As someone who writes, creates, and dreams, I've learned this:𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

But if you have GOD-GIVEN WISDOM, you may not always get applause, but you will walk in peace, PURPOSE, and DIVINE FAVOR.👑✨

So to the one who wasn't top of the class, wag mong maliitin ang sarili mo. 😊

And to the one who is praised for being smart, stay humble. Magpakumbaba. ibalik sa sa Diyos ang papuri dahil kundi dahil sa Kanya, wala kang maa-accomplish.😌

Because in the end, it's not about how much you know, but how deeply you know God, who is the Source of all true WISDOM.🙌🏼

Soli Deo Gloria ✨

Benignians, let us UNITE in PRAYER for our country. 🙌🏼🇵🇭🤍

Instead of letting ourselves be divided because of different views and opinion, let us be WISER by not adding to the clamor and intensify our prayer instead of intensifying our emotions.

This is the best time to stand up for our nation
by kneeling down in PRAYER.🙏🏼✨

🙏 Prayer for the Philippines 🇵🇭

“Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of hope and faith for our beloved nation, the Philippines. 🙏 We lift up our country to You, asking for Your guidance, wisdom, and healing during these challenging times. Lord, we pray for unity among our people, that we may stand together in love and peace, not allowing division to weaken our bonds.

Your Word in Proverbs 14:34 reminds us, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people." We pray for righteousness to prevail in our land—in our leaders, our communities, and our hearts. May we, as a nation, seek justice, integrity, and compassion in all that we do. Let Your light shine upon us, Lord, and may we reflect Your love and truth in every action.

We especially pray for our fellow Christians, that we may be instruments of Your peace and unity. Help us to be examples of humility, forgiveness, and grace, even in the face of disagreement. May we remember that our ultimate calling is to love one another as You have loved us.

Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on our nation. Heal the wounds of division, restore trust where it has been broken, and guide us toward a future filled with hope and prosperity. Give us the courage to stand for what is right and to work together for the common good.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. 🙌

As sons and daughters of God here on earth, we commit to being a beacon of God’s light in this nation. We call on every Filipino to join us in prayer, in action, and in unity. Let us rise above our differences and work together to build a nation that honors the Almighty God.

✨ Let us pray without ceasing for our nation.
✨ Let us choose love over division and righteousness over sin.
✨ Let us be the light in our communities, spreading hope and unity.
