Proverbs 8:32-36, "And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death."

To experience the fullness of life God has for us, we don't have to be wealthy; we don't have to be bright, brilliant or intelligent; we don't have to be well-connected; we don't have to have a surplus of resources. Rather we are called to obedience to Christ - to not just hear God's Word, but do it.
