👭 A Morning Conversation Among Sisters

This morning, five of our Wisdom Seekers sisters—Claudia, Laura, Hazel, Debbie, and Alynthia—gathered for coffee and conversation after last night’s study on Mark 12:31. What started as a recap turned into a Spirit-led reflection on Proverbs 10 and the power of walking in wisdom.

Claudia opened with a gentle thought:
“Mark 12:31 sounds so simple, but it cut deep when we discussed how temperament affects the way we love.”

The group nodded in agreement, especially as they recalled Tim LaHaye’s teaching that temperament is rooted in the natural man—not the spiritual one. That means we don’t get to excuse bad behavior as "just our temperament."

Laura, a Melancholic-Phlegmatic, added:
“I can’t excuse my silence or overthinking just because I’m Melancholic. I need to be Spirit-led.”

Hazel, the Melancholic-Sanguine blend, chimed in thoughtfully:
“My quiet reflection and outgoing side often clash—but real love isn’t about preference. It’s about obedience.”

Then came Debbie, our vibrant Sanguine-Choleric, who laughed but admitted with sincerity:

“I love people—but my Choleric edge? Whew! If I don’t pray over my words, I can bulldoze instead of bless.”

The group turned their hearts toward today’s chapter—Proverbs 10—which spoke volumes about how wisdom is shown through speech, diligence, integrity, and kindness.

💡 Key Wisdom Moments from the Group:

🔹 “The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life…”
— Claudia reflected on the power of words. She asked herself, “Am I speaking life, or just staying quiet and calling it wisdom?”

🔹 “In a multitude of words, sin is not lacking…”
— Debbie felt that one deeply. “That verse was me. My temperament likes to talk—so I need extra discipline to be wise with words.”

🔹 “One who walks in integrity walks securely…”
— Alynthia shared this verse reminded her that loving well starts with living right. “When my walk is secure, my love becomes sincere.”

🔹 “Blessings are on the head of the righteous…”
— Laura connected this to the way wisdom protects and multiplies good in our relationships.

🔹 “The wise of heart will receive commands…”
— Hazel added, “Humility is the foundation of wisdom. When we stay teachable, we stay transformable.”
