📖 Scripture Connection

Proverbs 3:13-14

“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding. For her good profit is better than silver, and her revenue better than fine gold.”

— Proverbs 3:13-14 (WEB)

Just as we organize and understand objects in a graph, wisdom helps us organize and understand life's lessons
