Acquiring wisdom requires time. Who has extra time? We all have time!!! It's just a matter of priorities. And priorities depend on where your heart is.
To acquire wisdom, schedules will have to be reworked, entertainment and pleasure will have to be forfeited. For me, it means, simply not going shopping. I don't necessarily like to spend money, but I do like to look. It means saying no to many good things as well. Distractions will vy for your time and energy. You must be purposeful and disciplined in your acquiring wisdom. You must decide on a place, a time, and have a plan. Nothing should usurp that time, unless your family is needing you. Satan will attempt to derail your efforts, your flesh will lust after temporal pleasures, the world will lure you with many traps.
However, you must stand firm against the schemes of the devil. You must be wise and make the most of your days; lfor the days are evil. Ps 90:12 Moses earnestly prays "teach us to number our days That we may present to You a heart of wisdom."
Proverbs states it this way: Buy truth and don't sell it. Stay focused. Say no to distractions. Time will never be recouperated. Learn now to sacrifice passing pleasures for the sake of the Gospel and the good of your soul. Buying truth has a high ROR (rate of return) It's worth it!
