The Bible says,
Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance by exploring the meaning in the proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles. (Proverbs 1:5, 6 New Living Translation)
There is no such thing as learning it all. Every time I read the Bible there is always something new that seems to reach out to me. I believe the more we experience life, the more certain parts of the Bible become clear. We are able to take our experience and see where God's word gives us wisdom.
The sad part of life is that many believe since they have read the Bible once or twice they know everything. The writer here tells us we should never stop learning. There is always a new mystery or parable to discover. We can take the knowledge of our experience and the wisdom of those who have gone before and become even wiser. The older I get the more I understand the need of the wisdom of others. Let us never stop learning.
Lord God,
Let us hide Your word in our hearts, so we will not sin.
