Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun. Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.
Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 NIV
Had a great message on Wisdom from Ecc 7 last night...so will try and share the key things I learned...
Wisdom is a good thing for all of us who walk on the earth - it provides shelter...and ultimately it preserves because it brings us into a right relationship with God - that's the best preservation possible
So gather wisdom
From God
His Word
His people
People in general - made in the image & likeness of God there are glimpses of Him in all people & pieces of wisdom can be found everywhere...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
