"Wisdom is the principal thing!" my college professor
thundered to the classroom. "Therefore get wisdom!"
Sitting in that class, I was shocked. I was uncomfortably aware that I knew of that verse, but had pushed it aside. A heavy reader of Baptist literature, I had never heard this taught.
Talk about powerful teaching, and it was better than almost every sermon I have ever heard. The professor pounded out verse after verse showing the value of wisdom. Go ahead. Get a colored marker and mark the word "wisdom" every time you find it in Proverbs. Then go back and read those verses again. Wisdom is more valuable than soul-winning. It is more valuable that separation. Wisdom is the principal thing.
