Meditations From Proverbs, Part 8

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." - Proverbs 4:7

The Lord has much to say about wisdom, and therefore we must pay specific attention to His advice on the matter. When we are told to get wisdom and understanding, I sense the Lord is conveying to His saints that they must not only gain wisdom, but know how to effectively apply it. Solomon was a wise man but failed to apply what he knew, and then went after "strange wives" and their idolatrous worship. James tells us that we are to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. Can you think of an area where you possess wisdom but have failed to apply it? That's the way I see things.
