Wisdom

Today's Verse: "Wisdom is better than rubies."  ~Proverbs 8:11


 Wisdom is better than rubies!  Can you believe it?  Ecclesiastes 7:12 tells us, "Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it."  How do we become wise?


 1) Read the Bible!  Ever notice that the Bible has very wise things to say?  Well, it does!  It tells us how to live life!
 2) Pray for wisdom!  Prayer works--trust me!
 3) Surround yourself with wise people.  Maybe they're older than you, or maybe they've already been through what you're going through now.  Either way, they're wiser than you!
 4) Experience!  You won't be able to grow in wisdom if you just sit at home!  When God is saying "Wisdom is better than rubies", I don't think He's talking about academic wisdom!  He's talking about life wisdom -- learning from the decisions you've made.  


 We often take wisdom for granted.  I don't think any of us here on earth can comprehend the extent of benefits wisdom has!  Not only can it help us in our future decisions, but we are able to share our wisdom with others and be a blessing!


In Christ,
