Unless constant effort is made to grow and develop, the opposite will occur. There is no such thing as a static existence. Those rich in wisdom become richer, while those who care little become poorer. This wisdom knows God's love and cherishes God's law. It understands the nature of sin and marvels at the wonder of God's ace.
Wisdom measures all things by the yardstick of salvation crafted at the cross.
The wise person is therefore curious . He or she wants to know and understand more and more about this marvelous world and the marvelous body He has created. The ability to learn, to retain knowledge, to gain understanding and to apply what we know in our lives is a special gift from God that will grow in value and depth, the more we put wisdom to use. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It all depends on our attitude and our source of true wisdom.
