The Blessings of Wisdom

Proverbs 1
Late one Saturday night, the phone rang in a private residence. The man of the house, awakened out of his sleep, rolled over picked up the receiver and answered, "Hello." The voice on the other end asked, "Is John there?" The man said, "I'm sorry, you've got the wrong number."
About 20 minutes later, the phone rang again. The man rolled over, picked up the receiver and answered, "Hello." The voice on the other end asked, "Is John there?" The man said, "I'm sorry, sir, but as I told you before, you've got the wrong number."
About 10 minutes later, the phone rang again. The man rolled over, picked up the receiver and answered, "Hello." The voice on the other end asked, "Is John there?" The man responded angrily, "Listen, I told you that you've got the wrong number. There is no one named John who lives here. So, don't call again, because I've got to get up early to go to work."

God has a message for us this morning, and it is found in the Word of God!
