How well do you
treasure knowledge? When you treasure
knowledge, you put great value on it. He
who treasures knowledge is not satisfied with what he already knows. He always is pursuing greater
understanding. He knows that he does not
know all things and has an open mind so that he can learn new things. Learning becomes a very vital part of living.
When you treasure
knowledge, you hold onto it. You
diligently watch over what you know and understand lest you forget it or it
fades in importance in your life. Wise
are those who have built a solid foundation of truth in their lives. Wise are those whose quest for knowledge
never dies.
Wise are those who once they know and
understand truth stand firmly upon it.
There are certain things God reveals to us that we will never fully know
or understand, but there are certain things that are universally understood
amongst God’s children and we must hold fast to those things. God has never added to or taken away from His
Word and He never will. What we don’t
understand we hold onto by faith and await the day in which the Lord will
remove the scales from off our eyes so we can understand.
Wise people do not need to flaunt what
they know. Those who are quick to speak
often are like babbling fools. They
often have not done their studies and speak out on what they think about things
and make fools of themselves. It takes
time to work out the truths of the Word.
It takes careful thought and meditation to discern truth from
error. A person who speaks off the top
of his head without clear understanding does more harm than good and needs to
be quiet.
Wise people treasure knowledge. They are willing to pay the price of thinking
for themselves. They are good students
of the Word. They are humble in spirit
and are willing to rethink things if the Spirit gives them greater
understanding. They willingly discard
their old ways of thinking as they mature in faith. Wise people do not hinder the work of the
Spirit in them to give them proper understanding of the Scriptures.
