Reading Proverbs

Sarah Elizabeth Writes

Proverbs is a book all about wisdom. Written by many wise men of history, the book is a collection of knowledge that can easily be applied to anyone's life. Drawing from the wisdom of Solomon (the smartest man in history), Agur (unknown historically), Lemuel (unknown historically), and a few other authors labelled as "the wise", these proverbs, or quotes of useful information, apply to past, present and future.

In my opinion you can never achieve enough wisdom. The search for more and more knowledge never ends. However, much like our faith, we can have as much as knowledge as we want, but without action, that knowledge is meaningless. In the same way as our relationship with Christ, we can know all about Him, know all that He has done, and will do, but without acting on that knowledge, without putting that information to use, it just wastes away! Ultimately, the smartest person in the world isn't the person who knows the most, its the person who with the greatest efficiency puts their knowledge to use.
