Sirach, a sage in the second century before Christ, keenly observed how people reacted to adversity and gave advice. Jesus came with infinite wisdom to offer. Before healing a boy wracked with convulsions, He said that faith makes anything possible. The boy’s father prayed to help his own unbelief. When the Disciples later asked why their efforts to heal the boy had failed, the Lord explained that prayer was the key. Jesus surprised the Disciples with his teachings about esteem and humble service. Instead of regarding children who came to Jesus as pesky, the Disciples should welcome the way little ones readily accept the Kingdom of God. Faced with adversity and tempted to forsake God, where do we turn in seeking wisdom?
