I love this statement;
Wise people pursue more wisdom, for wisdom is given to those who value
it.
Solomon puts it like
this in Proverbs 4:7 – Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it
cost all you have, get understanding
We need to ask
ourselves, How Does this Principle
Apply to me?
Let’s look at the
words from the world’s wisest man from the book of Proverbs to guide us on how
we should value and strive for wisdom.
We must delight
in wisdom
Proverbs 2:10; For
wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Proverbs 3:13; Blessed
are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
Proverbs 24:14; Know
also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future
hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
We must desire
wisdom
Proverbs 8:11; for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
Proverbs 2:2; Pursue
it turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding
Proverbs 28:26; Those
who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept
safe.
What we delight in and desire is where our heart will be. Amen?
