Knowledge
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. (Benjamin Franklin, U.S. founding father)
Every day–sometimes even more often–some people check the Dow-Jones readings. They’re concerned about their investments, hoping for good earnings and fearing the occasional losses. Franklin’s comment may seem less significant to financial investors, but it is a foundational truth. Without good knowledge and the wisdom to apply it well, life will be less rewarding.
Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge. . . . Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge. . . . (Proverbs 1:7; 18:15)
