How much of what you learned in geometry do you remember? What about social studies? Can you remember all the types of poems? Or what makes up the cell? (I remember that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. That's about it.)
If you continued to study these things every day, you'd probably still remember them.... but you learned them once, knew enough to get through the test, and have long since forgotten most of it.
To remain wise, we have to do more than study it once. We have to consider Biblical wisdom an intimate friend, one that we remain close to each and every day, constantly writing them in our hearts through our dedicated study. It's the only way -- there are no shortcuts. If we hope to recall the guidance of wisdom, particularly when we're under stress, we have to consistently dedicate ourselves to the study of wisdom, seeking God's guidance so that it's close in times of need.
