The Value of Wisdom
Proverbs 4:8
"Prize Wisdom highly and exalt her, and she will exalt and promote you;
she will bring you to honor when you embrace her."
Wisdom is one of the keys to promotion and increase in any area of life.
Many people may forfeit occupational promotions due to not acting wisely on their jobs. Brainpower alone is not enough; wisdom is also important. It is possible to encounter bright people with very good minds, who have very good minds, but do not use wisdom at work. Whether being unkind to co-workers, returning late from breaks or lunches, etc., even though they may have the skills, they will forfeit a promotion by not demonstrating wisdom in other ways. On the other hand, a wise person can expect to advance or obtain a promotion wherever they go, because wisdom is what promotes and exalts us.
When God gives us resources, (our time, talents, gifts, influence, authority, finances, possessions), we need to be wise stewards of those things, using them with both discernment as well as understanding.
One way to love yourself is to learn to exercise wisdom in every area of your life. This will give you confidence in the decisions you make, and will also cause others to look favorably upon you, being inclined to bless you when they have the opportunity to do so.
