"Sometimes experience is not the best teacher, for the tuition is too expensive."
In Bible College, we're currently studying the Hebrew Wisdom Literature, and I don't need to be reminded about Finals tonight. I thought I'd post the Sources of Wisdom, as this is something definitely worth revisiting on a regular basis.
"Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her." Proverbs 3:13-15 KJV
The Sources of Wisdom:
The Word of God
Listening to instruction, learning from discipline, and submitting to rules
Heeding our parents
Learning from wise counsel
Accepting rebuke
Seeking wise advice
Humility
Learning from criticism
Prayer
Seeking the Lord and forsaking evil. A man’s morality will always determine his philosophy.
The fear of the Lord
"Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Proverbs 4:7 KJV
