How many people could improve their lives immediately if….


….they simply followed this one instruction from God's word?

Proverbs 4:5-7(NKJV)
5    Get wisdom! Get understanding!     Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
6    Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;     Love her, and she will keep you.
7    Wisdom is the principal thing;     Therefore get wisdom.     And in all your getting, get understanding.

How many people do you know, especially those who are less successful in life, who stop learning as soon as they graduate from high school and are proud of the fact.  They even brag about it.  "Man, I haven't opened a book since I graduated!".

One of the saddest things to see for me is a broke Christian.  Why?  Because there is no reason for it.  All they have to do is seek the wisdom found in the Bible and put it into practice. 

And yet you see many poor Christians sitting around waiting for Santa Claus Jesus to just drop some success in their laps and make things all better.  It doesn't work like that.

Proverbs 4:7 tells us that "wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom".  If God doesn't see us pursuing wisdom, why in the world would we expect Him to reward us with a better life?  Does that make sense?

God has given us a road map to success, Godly success.  It is in the Bible and it starts with the pursuit of wisdom!
