"Jehovah Himself Gives Wisdom"

WHAT pursuits consume your time and energy? Is making a good name for yourself a matter of concern to you? Do you devote yourself to the gathering of the riches? How about pursuing a career in a certain field of endeavor or developing expertise in one or more branches of learning? Is cultivating good relationship with others importance to you? Is staying in good health your main concern?

All of the foregoing may seem to have some value. But what is of prime importance? The Bible answers: "Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom." ( Proverbs 4:7) So how may we gain wisdom, and what are its benefits? The second chapter of the Bible book of Proverbs provides the answers.
