The Value of Wisdom

I have often heard people speak of life verses - a verse that stands out to you and is particularly meaningful that you commit to memory and you keep it with you all the days of your life. Today I read Proverbs 2: 1-5 and these verses on the value of wisdom really struck me. I'm not sure if I would label this passage as my life verse but I will definitely commit to memorizing it.

My entire worldview must be shaped by the things of God, and not this world. The only way to understand the fear of the Lord and to gain any knowledge of God is to constantly seek wisdom through His word. Without the knowledge of God we know nothing, just the lies that men have created. Without understanding God's purpose and will for His people, we are literally hopeless. Wisdom is key to surviving :)

Proverbs 2: 1-5 -

My Son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
