| The wise keep learning... |
Proverbs is a book filled with practical wisdom. It is a book that some seem to despise because it promises that God is not against giving wealth, he isn’t against saving or investing, or against promising evil for those who reject God. The practical advice in this book has been used by everyone from the saint to the business man to live a more successful life. The principles in this book are just that principles which are true, under normal circumstances. They are like gravity unless something changes it always holds true (yet planes fly, why man intervenes).
The key in this first chapter is found in verse 5. The wise man doesn’t just listen, he finds ways to continue to learn, and to seek wisdom from those wiser than himself. Not all the answers to life are found within yourself, in spite of what some eastern mystics have said, you have to seek wisdom and truth, you have to find those smarter than yourself. If you don’t then according to Solomon you aren’t wise, you might be just some wise guy.
So, are you seeking wisdom? I think if you are reading this that you must be. Keep going and keep learning.
