Proverbs 8:34-36 NIV
Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. [35] For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. [36] But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”
Verse 35 states that whoever finds wisdom find both Life & Favor from the Lord. Wisdom is central to having a meaningful and fulfilled life and without wisdom we only harm ourselves. Verse 34 shows that being close to wisdom every day ( by reading the scripture, asking God for wisdom thru prayers), help us get God's approval and blessings.
We all want many things in life, and sometimes we are too focused on these worldly things that we forgot the most important thing - our devotion to God. We can't find real happiness on money, fame, career, power or anything else other than God. Without God in our life, even no matter how plenty we have, it will never be enough. We will always want more! Normally ending us hurting others or ourselves.
Gaining wisdom helps us enjoy the gift of life that God has given us. Live a life guided by the Lord's wisdom. A life with value and meaning.
