Drawing Them Out

Proverbs 20:5 - Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

This scripture speaks to the wisdom of one who recognizes the wisdom within a man and seeks to draw it out. While men and women of wisdom may not also be persons who are overly verbose and liberal with their knowledge, we do well to seek conversation with and counsel from them. Men and women of understanding will do exactly that. Knowing that wisdom lays deeply within, the man of understanding will be diligent and relentless in pursuing that knowledge from others.
