Warning

The fear of  the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instructions – Proverbs 1:7  

To fear the Lord is to reverence Him. If people would fear the Lord, people wouldn’t be in the chaotic state they’re in. We can’t reject the Word of God and the world stay peaceful. The One who gives peace, the majority of the world has rejected Him and His Word. Read More

A Wise Man

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels – Proverbs 1:5  In this age of information, academic knowledge, social knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scarce. Wisdom means for more than knowing a lot, it’s a basic attitude that affects every aspect of life. Majority of the time, people will not accept instruction, its our sin nature that keeps us from wanting to hear from anyone else other than our thinking and reasoning. A wise person is one who is teachable, they don’t think they know it all, but will accept sound advice. A wise person is slow to speak and quick to hear, they will discern if the instructions given is sound. In our order to increase in knowledge, one must be able to learn from others and apply what they have received.

Subtilty

To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion – Proverbs 1:4  

Subtilty is used in the Bible as a positive virtue as well as negative. When rendered as prudent, it’s positive, but when used as crafty, it’s negative. Wisdom will give a young man or woman who is easily lead astray or gullible the knowledge and the wisdom of how to turn from anything or anyone that would try to influence them in actions that are contrary to what they have been taught by their parents like ethics and morals.
