Today's Word
Proverbs 4:7
“Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding.”
Reflection
"Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom." Among many good things, it sets wisdom first. The priority is that discerning rightly comes before having much.
"Whatever you may acquire, gain understanding" comes close to saying, pay the price. Wisdom doesn't roll in for free; it is worth seeking even at the cost of other things.
On a day you wonder what more to acquire, seek discernment before that. With much in hand but no wisdom, you lose your way. The choice to set wisdom first sets the direction of all the rest.
