Wisdom

From: New Life Daily Devotions - Steve Arterburn

Proverbs 13:20 "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."

Wisdom does not spring up overnight—it takes time. To become wise, we must seek God's wisdom and live according to His Word. And, we must not only learn the lessons of the Christian life, we must also live by them.

Do you seek to live a life of righteousness and wisdom? If so, you must study the ultimate source of wisdom: the Word of God. You must seek out worthy mentors and listen carefully to their advice. You must associate, day in and day out, with godly men and women. And, you must act in accordance with your beliefs. When you do these things, you will become wise...and you will be a blessing to your friends, to your family, and to the world.

The theme of Proverbs is wisdom, the right use of knowledge. It enables you to evaluate circumstances and people and make the right decisions in life. Warren Wiersbe
