Scripture:
Her [wisdom] ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed. Proverbs 3:17-18 About This Image: There is just something about this old, strong oak tree in the field across from the Lawson place in Cades Cove. It draws me to it every time I visit the cove. In these verses wisdom is depicted as the tree of life. Tim Keller in is devotional book on the Proverbs, "God's Wisdom for Navigating Life," has these powerful words about these verses: "this proverb promises that when we walk in accordance with God's Word and wisdom we began to get a foretaste of the Tree of Life- the fullness of life that will be restored to us on the last day. And we may approach the Tree of Life only because Jesus hung on a tree of death."
