How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver. (Proverbs 16:16 NASB)
When I was young, it was important to have nice things. It was a fade to wear Levi jeans and Converse tennis shoes. All the young folks had them. I guess I just wanted to fit in with everyone else, but not so now.
I have learned how important Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding are. Without them I am lost. I have learned to lean on God for these. I ask for wisdom and I find much more insight than if I used my own human reasoning.
Be Encouraged! If you need Wisdom, ask God. He will give it freely. Seek for what cannot be bought with silver or gold.
