(Pro 24:14 KJV) So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

We must “find” (4672) “wisdom” (2451).  This seems to become another of those conditional statements that we find in the Bible to balance absolute statements such as “by grace alone.”

“Wisdom” (2451) is essential for your “soul” (5315).  So many people who embrace the name “Christian” reject how important it is to learn, grow and change.  They tend to think of Biblical essentials as the add on that they are used to purchasing with a bit of soft ware.  I don’t know about you, but almost all of the things I do on a computer, other than games, I could do on my first computer.  The graphics and ability to click on things have streamlined and made the basics easier but I still do the same things I did then.  For me the computer is a fancy typewriter and adding machine.  

So?  Wisdom is not an add on.  Wisdom is part of the requirements.  It is not the stereo system in your new car, it is the steering wheel.  Seek wisdom.  Neglect it at peril to your soul.
