God's Wisdom: An Endless Fountain

Understanding is like a fountain which gives life to those who use it. - Proverbs 16:22

Wisdom is like a savings account: If you add to it consistently, then eventually you will have  accumulated a great sum. The secret to success is consistency.

Do you seek wisdom for yourself and for your family? Then you must keep learning, and you musst keep motivating them to do likewise. The ultimate source of wisdom, of course, is the Word of God. When you study God's Word and live according to His commandments, you will accumulate wisdom. day by day. And finally, with God's help, you'll have enough wisdom to keep and enough left over to share.

Prayer from the Blogger:
Lord Jesus, 
You are the beginning of wisdom. We need You, LORD. Continue to pour Yourself in us.
Amen

Digging Deeper:
Read the following passage - 

Proverbs 16:18-23
18 Pride leads to destruction;
a proud attitude brings ruin.
19  It is better to be humble and be with those who suffer
than to share stolen property with the proud.
20  Whoever listens to what is taught will succeed,
and whoever trusts the Lord will be happy.
21  The wise are known for their understanding.
Their pleasant words make them better teachers.
22  Understanding is like a fountain which gives life to those who use it,
but foolishness brings punishment to fools.
23  Wise people’s minds tell them what to say,
and that helps them be better teachers.

Challenge:
Spend five minutes with God each day for the next 30 days.
