The Benefits of Wisdom

1Listen to what your father teaches you, my children. Pay attention, and you will have understanding. 2What I am teaching you is good, so remember it all. 3When I was only a little boy, my parents' only son, 4my father would teach me. He would say, “Remember what I say and never forget it. Do as I tell you, and you will live. 5Get wisdom and insight! Do not forget or ignore what I say.

– Touch base with God daily
 This is the only way to keep your life prioritised and your Christian identity integrated. Refresh your soul daily with God’s words while communicating with him in daily prayer.

– Connect with God’s people
 God’s kingdom is a family where we all need each other. Find a church right away and get involved in their ministry. Worshiping with fellow Christians can help keep you strong. Going to church at least once a week can help keep your focus.

– Stay in touch with the older generation
 They may be “old” but they’ve “been there and done that”. Accept that they love you and want what is best for you. Besides, you will need their help and advice for the rest of your life.
