Pro 17:24 The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

I enjoy running with people who have run more years than me, who have different experiences than me, who have trained more than me, who have participated in events that I have yet to partake. Why? I consider many of these people as wise runners. They have mastered different aspects of running that I am seeking to learn about. These more mature runners can give me tips and hints on how I can improve my endurance and my speed. I love running with others who are willing to teach me something to make me more successful in my run.

As we live our lives on this earth, we seek wisdom from many different people, books, and even our own experiences. Sometimes, we allow ourselves to get captured by the ways of the world, and we do not look to our Creator for wisdom. The ultimate wisdom is from God; He directs us through His truth in the Bible, through prayer, and through other Christians who are seeking Him. In the end of our lives, will the wisdom of earthly things really matter? If Jesus is your Savior, I encourage you to keep seeking His wisdom, and if you do not know Him as your Savior, I encourage you to read the Bible and ask Him to show you wisdom.
