How much better to get wisdom than gold, and good judgment than silver! (Proverbs 16:16 NLT)
It’s right to commend people for earning undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. But, intellectual knowledge alone doesn’t make a person “wise” or mean they possess “good judgment.” More valuable than “gold,” “silver,” or that expensively framed diploma hanging on your office wall is the ability to make right decisions based on biblical truth. We should spend more time and energy seeking to understand life from God’s point of view than we do any other learning pursuit.
