Get some! (wisdom)

Proverbs 4

Get Wisdom at Any Cost

 ¹ Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; 
   pay attention and gain understanding. 
² I give you sound learning, 
   so do not forsake my teaching. 
³ For I too was a son to my father, 
   still tender, and cherished by my mother. 
⁴ Then he taught me, and he said to me, 
   “Take hold of my words with all your heart; 
   keep my commands, and you will live. 
⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding; 
   do not forget my words or turn away from them. 
⁶ Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; 
   love her, and she will watch over you. 
⁷ The beginning of wisdom is this: Get^[a] wisdom. 
   Though it cost all you have,^[b] get understanding. 
⁸ Cherish her, and she will exalt you; 
   embrace her, and she will honor you. 
⁹ She will give you a garland to grace your head 
   and present you with a glorious crown.”


Seriously Go get some, gaining wisdom and understanding is worth the cost. To gain it you'll have to go through things. You might have to open a book, you might have to take some time and listen to some podcast, you may have to pay for those things or take some time to listen to someone who knows more than you humbly let them teach you. I say that for Three reasons:


One: I've had to do that, spent some money on books then took the time to read them, took time to listen to at least one podcast on my to and from School (I drive a lot) and Humbled my self to listen to people who've done the things i'm hoping to do better and honestly I've been blessed by those times. And I've realized I wouldn't know 80% of what I know if I didn't take the time and effort to go and get some wisdom


Two: God that it was important enough to write it down and If the wisest being in all existence thinks gaining wisdom and understanding is worth the cost even if you have to give all you have. Then I'm inclined to think its a good idea. 


Three: there are blessings that come with Having wisdom and Understanding. If you want to walk rightly with God and people around you, then get some Wisdom. If you want to be able to Help others your going to need some understanding. People who have both wisdom and understanding usually end up living Lives that are worth Living. (here are some examples: Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr, Martin Luther the reformer, Paul formerly known as Saul,  Some modern examples Perry Noble the guy who's podcast help inspire me to think about this, Francis Chan, Brennan Manning, all of these men Had some wisdom and had an impact on the world around them.)
