Proverbs 4:5-6 (NKJV): "Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you."

Success in life comes with determination. In fact the difference between those who succeed and those who don't has everything to do with attitude. A consistent refusal to give up is what is going to keep you on the path to victory. People who choose the path of least resistance and don't wholeheartedly commit themselves to diligence will never achieve excellence. The book of Proverbs strongly urges us get wisdom. It's not a suggestion, it's a deliberate command. When we decide to get serious and committed to putting God's Word first in our lives - to study its truth, meditate on its wisdom and apply it to our lives - we will reap its rewards. It's time to stop having a casual attitude about God's Word. Be stubborn and unbending in your effort to have it dominate your life. If you do, it will preserve you. And as you love it, it will take care of you. Don't forsake God's wisdom, it will defend, protect and guard you; and bring you to the place of glorious, lasting success.
