I must admit that I thoroughly love books. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the fact that there is so little time to read so many books. Therefore, I’ve had to make an effort to discern which books are worthy of reading and spending the required hours pouring over them. Reading improves the mind. “Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.” Proverbs 19:8
Wisdom and understanding are so important to happiness in life. When we find wisdom we find life and obtain favor from God. Proverbs 8:35. Wisdom prevents us from making foolish decisions that injure both ourselves and others. Wisdom promotes life, and keeps us from the traps of folly and frivolity.
It has been a joyous journey from being a child who loathed the thought of reading, and would rather play video games for hours on end, to discovering the fruitfulness of study. And its profound impact that it has on our lives.
