WISDOM – A TOOL WORTH HAVING

Proverbs 8:12-16
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.

Wisdom Calls for a Hearing

12 “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
13 All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech.
14 Common sense and success belong to me.
Insight and strength are mine.
15 Because of me, kings reign,
and rulers make just decrees.
16 Rulers lead with my help,
and nobles make righteous judgments.


Wisdom is that quality … that character trait … that enables one to live a noticeably … recognizably outstanding life.

Imagine how wonderful it would be if you, if all our leaders, called upon wisdom to guide them in every decision. What leader in their right mind would not want the priceless tool described in these verses?

Can you think of anything more important … more valuable to leadership than wisdom?
