One day Bill and I were off to play a game of baseball. We left the house quickly as we were late. When we got to the park,I grabbed my glove and dashed out of the car. As I ran to the baseball field I looked down as something felt off. I was wearing my slippers with the brown bow!! I was horrified. Wisdom and wearing the right shoes for the task at hand are not that different.
you plan to climb a mountain that is going to be challenging you won't want to wear flip flops for obvious reasons. For that climber who says "no I will stick to wearing my flip flops", will suffer for the choice shortly.
There many sources of wisdom available through all kinds of avenues. For me, I choose to go to the Author of Wisdom who is God. He gives me instructions on how to live every single day. The challenge is to listen to that wisdom and act upon it.
The foundation of all wisdom according to the book of Proverbs is "The fear of the Lord". You might wonder what in the world is that suppose to mean? Very simply put it is respect, awe and sometimes being terrified at the Holiness and Power of God. Wisdom also trusts God implicitly. It is from this place you can begin to really grasp the wisdom of God
The book of Proverbs has thirty one chapters, that makes a chapter for every day of the month.

It is like choosing every day the best possible footwear to navigate the challenges of today's journey.
