Seek knowledge

Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, and he sins who hastens with his feet.
Proverbs 19:2 (NKJV)

The pursuit of knowledge is a noble task. It equips us for dealing with and navigating the sharp bends and potholes of life. It also enables us to make the best of our lives. Seeking knowledge in itself imbibes in us traits such as patience, gentleness, a listening ear and heart, and an open heart.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
Proverbs 19:20 (NKJV)

When we are able to listen to counsel and receive instruction, we are easily quick and swift with listening, taking in and gaining insights in the process and surely slow in speaking, bringing forth effective words that build and not tear down.

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get
understanding.

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV)

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
