GOD gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. ~ (Daniel 2:21)

God gives wisdom to those who are wise enough to know how important it is, and seek Him for it.  If you are striving for excellence, it takes discernment to know that you can reach the top if God is on your side, while others are struggling to make it.

It is good to be hardworking, but wisdom is what catapults you to greatness.  James 1:5 says wisdom is ours for the taking.  Ask God for it; He will give it to you.
