In the Lord we stretch and grow,
Our understanding to expand.
Wisdom comes from meeting challenge
Given from the Lord's own hand.
God does this His love to show,
That we might rise to higher planes.
All His "teaching" is divine
And causes us to have rich "gains".
If we walk His chosen path
And do not shrink from His own plan,
We will grow in revelation
Which cannot be matched by man.
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee."
Proverbs 4:7-9 KJV
