Proverbs 19

Verse 2 makes a very strong argument for education and the respect of experience. I remember the dreams of my youth. I had many desires that I wanted to accomplish. Fortunately I was encouraged to pursue education. That was the best guidence that I ever received. Not only was I able to study under some very capable teachers I was also allowed to experience some truely life changing events. The greatest was how I approached Jesus and his sacrifice. It took a few years and the consequences of some foolish choices, but God was able to teach me about his grace from my failures. Since that time I have grown in knowledge and am learning the truth of the second half of veres 2; haste often leads us in the wrong direction.
It took me about 5 minutes to read the wisdom in this chapter.
