Pursuing wisdom is not selfish — it is self-care in the deepest sense. The person who loves their own soul will seek wisdom, because wisdom protects, guides, and sustains the soul. Keeping understanding means not letting it go — holding to what God teaches even when the world pulls another way. The reward is simply described: finding good.
Memory phrase: Wisdom is true self-love.
Talk about it: How does getting wisdom help your whole life?
Prayer: God, help me love wisdom and hold on to it.
