VALUE KNOWLEDGE

While returning home yesterday, I passed by a place where a man had some books for sale. A particular book caught my attention amongst those displayed. I went back to find out the price. While seeking to bargain for a good price, he began to talk about the book selling business. He made mention of the fact that many people do not read today, he made me understand that most of his sales come from supplying books directly to people who have libraries. The most notable and striking statement he made was that it was a risk for those in the book business to engage in the trade.
It then dawned on me that if books, as valuable as they are, have low sales it then means that many people today are living in Ignorance.

Ideas shape the world. Paul when writing to Timothy said, "Give attendance to READING....". Knowledge adds value to you. There's nothing like too much knowledge. As it bothers on our relationship with God it's impossible to unravel all of Him. The book of Proverbs says something very significant about today's focus. It says: "WHEN wisdom entereth into thine heart, and KNOWLEDGE is pleasant unto thy soul; DISCRETION shall preserve thee, UNDERSTANDING shall keep thee"

Only wise people value knowledge, as you absorb knowledge, what happens? You'd begin to demonstrate discretion in matters of life. You'd have unusual understanding about things that your peers and many others may not know.

When I was to carry out PROJECT IGNITE during my service year, Prayer was greatly involved. However, there was a little book by John C. Maxwell I kept reading over and over, it was titled "How Successful People Think". I kept referring back to it through the process of planning and execution. The knowledge derived from that little book is priceless. It gave me discretion on how to handle matters. When you read, you receive the tools needed to succeed in life.

If you value having discretion and understanding then pursue knowledge at all cost.

Central Truth: Knowledge is Valuable.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 2:10-11

PRAYER:
LORD, create a desire for more knowledge in me that would improve my life in Jesus Name.
