Day 283 Bible Readings – Proverbs 4: 7-8 (ESV)

Jeremiah 21-22, Jeremiah 23: 1-8, 1 Thessalonians 2: 17-19, 1 Thessalonians 3, Proverbs 4: 1-9

Proverbs 4: 7-8 (ESV)

“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.”

Verses 7 and 8 from Proverbs 4 is good advice about wisdom. If you obtain wisdom you also need to get insight, but wisdom without insight is useless. If you don’t use wisdom and apply it to your life, then the information itself is useless. If you have both wisdom and insight, then you need to value this information. Wisdom and insight will bring you higher in status, and honor you if you embrace the teachings of both wisdom and insight.

But even if you have wisdom and insight, you need to pray to God and check to make sure that you are making the right decisions based on God’s plan for your life. As a person of faith, wisdom and insight without God’s blessings are not a good thing. You need all three; wisdom, insight, and faith in God; to succeed in life.
