Wisdom is the Principal thing

The need for wisdom cannot be over emphasized. No mortal can ever diregard the wisdom of God as stated in the Bible through the wisest man of his time; King Solomon. In the book of Proverbs 4:7 we read: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
The word "Principal" means first or among the first in importance or rank. If God Himself says something should be considered first in terms of importance then as creatures of God we should. It is necessary for us to realize that whatever God says to us is for our own good not His. In other words if we are wise or regard wisdom as the most important acquisition then it will be to our advantage.
The same book of Proverbs says in 3:13: happy is the man that getteth wisdom and that findeth understanding. So for a man or woman to be "happy" he or she must as of necessity find wisdom and get understanding.
This blog is a compendium of daily words of wisdom compiled for the busy man or woman who may not have the time to dig into the treasures of wisdom and knowledge deposited in the Bible and other books. The source of all wisdom however is the Word of God and recourse should be made therein for maximum benefit.
