The Proverb Challenge: Day 4

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

- Proverbs 4:7 KJV

Wealth, power, ease, pleasure, intellectual greatness are thought by different persons to be the principal thing. God says, “Wisdom is the principal thing.”

Many years ago, I had always place wealth above Wisdom. I was so wrong then.

From the first Chapter, The writer of Poverbs has been emphasising on getting Wisdom, I the fourth chapter, it say why: Wisdom is a major thing, Wisdom is the most important asset you can get. In our priority scale, Wisdom should always come first.

Why is this wisdom called the principal thing? That is the principal thing which is the only abiding thing. True wisdom, like its source, is perennial, unchanging, everlasting. And it is the only satisfying thing. It comes from God; it leads to God. It comes from above; it leads to above. Solomon was successful as a King because he chooses Wisdom first among many other things.

A successful life is a life that starts with Wisdom. The difference between a wise man and a foolish man is that a wise man starts with Wisdom, a foolish man doesn't. Wisdom is never minor, always major.

Wisdom is or utmost importance, Wisdom is supreme, Wisdom is the number one thing. And the beginning of Wisdom is to get it.

Main Point: A Wise man is the man who get Wisdom first among other things.

The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song.

When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
