Do you want to be happy?

“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;” Proverbs 3:13 We are to seek out wisdom, and when we find it, we will be happy.  God’s wisdom is not the world’s wisdom, “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’ Job 28:28....
