“Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.” Proverbs 4:6(KJV)
Do you know that how long you live can be decided by your knowledge? For instance with the increased level of knowledge in medicine and other health related matters today, human life can be better sustained and preserved.
There were diseases that used to kill people before but because of more knowledge, people are preserved. Therefore, we can say that knowledge preserves. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:5-6, “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.”
Wisdom will preserve you and keep you safe. Money can buy you security but money cannot buy you safety.
Therefore, having wisdom is a necessity because the Bible says in Proverbs 3:13-24, “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”
PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you because my life is guided by your wisdom. Therefore, I am preserved and kept from all evil. The number of my days I will fulfil in Jesus Name. Amen.
