“Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee.”
Proverbs 4:5-6 KJV
Solomon’s sound advice to make wisdom our quest— search for the revelation of life’s meaning. Solomon says to not let what he says go in one ear and out the other and to stick with wisdom and she will stick to us, protecting us throughout our days. She will rescue all those who passionately listen to her voice. The lessons of wisdom are meant to be passed on from parents to children. It is not enough to acquire wisdom; we must love her and listen wholeheartedly to her instruction. Wisdom will correct us and adjust our hearts to discipline. We must embrace the corrections of wisdom in order to mature spiritually. In the new covenant of grace, there is One greater than Solomon - Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Glory to God!
