Practical Pointers From Proverbs:
“5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee” (Proverbs 4:5-9; NASB).
Solomon, the great herald of Wisdom, tells us why we should make her our companion today:
“She shall preserve thee”— She keeps you from sinking when you’re in over your head.
“She shall keep thee”— She shows you where to build fences to prevent you from trespassing.
“She shall promote thee”— She makes the young man wise beyond his years and the old man wise beyond his time.
“She shall bring thee honor”— Fame is the prize of those in the news; honour is the reward of those in the right.
“She shall crown thee”— Victory is her promise. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday. Guaranteed.
Get Wisdom. She is man’s best friend.
