I recently read Proverbs 21:16 and here is what it says: “A man who strays from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead.” (NIV)

Kind of frightening, right?

In other words, the moment you start drifting away from wisdom, the moment you start neglecting the pursuit of knowledge, the moment learning becomes unimportant to you- that is the exact moment you start going down a path that ultimately leads to your demise.

So maybe we should go after knowledge more aggressively. Maybe we should pursue wisdom more intentionally. And maybe we should never ever stop learning.

Just a thought.
