```Proverbs 4:7-9 AMP
The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]. Prize wisdom [and exalt her], and she will exalt you; She will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a garland of grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty and glory.”```
COMMENTARY
Understanding is all encompassing. Understand your environment, understand the people around you. Understand every of their speech, why they made the speech and so on. It is with wisdom that we comprehend and have logical interpretation of every actions taken by people around us, be it our superiors or our subordinates. In the book of Judges Chapter 8, we saw the wisdom Gideon displayed in relating with the people of Ephraimites.
Navigating the route to and from success is full of danger, most times the dangers are from people who are not ready to lose seats of honor and relevance. The wisdom you need is the kind of wisdom called intellectual Wisdom. It is wisdom acquired by continuous learning. Studying books, people, things around and with cultivated habit of deeper meditation.
A popular Swedish Lecturer, author and behavioural expert, Thomas Erikson in one of his book titled "Surrounded by idiots", categorized human beings into four group namely: Dominant (D), Influencer(I), Steady (S), and Conscientious (C). This is called DISC model. Understanding people is very crucial in human relationship. Peaceful coexisting of husband and wife is a product of understanding. Bible is filled with Characters both good and bad, beautiful and ugly. Being a good student of the bible would give you directions on the kinds of human beings within your environment and how to deal with each person. Bible is a book of wisdom and very instrumental to business model and coaches.
Food for thought:
Foolish people lacks understanding. It takes wisdom to have understanding and form opinion._
Prayer:
```Lord give me strength to pursue intellectual Wisdom, grant me the grace to acquire it in Jesus name.```
