The principal thing.

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7(KJV)

Wisdom is a very important virtue in our lives. The bible says in our opening scripture that, “Wisdom is the principal thing; . . .” The Good News Bible puts it this way, “Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do.”
This shows us that if you do not prioritize wisdom in your life, it means that you have prioritized wrongly.
Prioritizing wisdom is the key because wisdom is fundamental to your success. If you are in business, or whatever you do, wisdom is fundamental to your success. Having wisdom is very important in every of our life’s endeavor. Even to raise and build a godly home, you need to have wisdom.
Wisdom in Proverbs 4:7 refers to good sense of skill. It also refers to wisdom in administration, prudence, skill in war, etc.
Therefore, it is obvious that the reason why people are defeated in life is because they lack wisdom.
Wisdom is greater than knowledge. Knowledge is the acquisition of facts from getting information but wisdom is the right use of knowledge. Wisdom is what will help you use the knowledge you have to your advantage. Therefore, get wisdom.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your wisdom is working in me, and giving me advantage in life. I thank you for I am filled with all prudence and skill in all my life’s endeavors in Jesus Name. Amen.
