"How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver." -Proverbs 16:16 (NASB)
As a teacher, there are days when I wonder if my students truly understand the value of education, wisdom, and understanding. Even in society, education is often linked to the financial benefits of a diploma or degree and future earning potential. Learning is not just about making money, but about bettering lives!
We are reminded in Proverbs (16:16) that wisdom and understanding are better than gold and silver! Learning and becoming wise or gaining an understanding should not be solely linked to financial gains. When we are studying and learning, we should remember to study and learn from God's Word, the Bible. We can gain true wisdom and understanding that can be applied to our lives. When we apply this wisdom and understanding from God, we can improve our lives and the lives of those around us!
Don't be afraid to learn something new! Immerse yourself in God's Word. Allow God to direct your path to wisdom and understanding, then use it to further His Kingdom!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing me with many ways to learn and grow. Help me to gain wisdom and understanding from each opportunity and allow me to use it to further Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
