One of the things that I love about some of the men in this room who have been serving the Lord for many years is their desire to continue to grow. That's what wise men do. They never get out of the habit of seeking to grow in grace. Brother Kevin, just share with me in line. We never get to the place, we should never get to the place where we just coast.

We have to continue to pursue wisdom and knowledge and understanding. Wise men are the kind of men who keep growing. It doesn't matter if you have no letters behind your name, or if you have 20 letters behind your name, you have not yet obtained. Continue to seek the wisdom of God. We need to be those men who are seeking to have the wisdom of God that we might be strong.

We need to be those men who are seeking to grow in wisdom continually because it is a true strength that God desires to give us. The book of Proverbs chapter 4, There's so much about wisdom here and I have a brief amount of time. Proverbs chapter 4 and verse 7, the scripture says, Wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding. Wise men are strong. You want true strength?

As a young man or an elder statesman, seek the wisdom of God and you will obtain real strength.

In this brief audio clip, Craig Houston says that wise men continually grow in their understanding of grace. They continue to desire to grown, we should never get to the place where we coast, we have to pursue wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
