What are some benefits of having wisdom?
Mike stated that if you reject something you are accepting something else. When we reject wisdom we accept foolishness. Who are some wise people you can walk with so that you do not become foolish?
The first alternative to wisdom Mike gave tonight is being Naive. Being Naive is more like being clueless, the person lacks experience. What are some things was are naive (clueless) about? (ex. credit cards)
The second alternative is being a fool. Being a fool is being careless, you know right from wrong but you do not change. What are some foolish experiences you have had (based on the definition)? Is there anything you are still being foolish about?
The third and final alternative is being a mocker. A mocker is someone who is critical, they want nothing to do with it. They think they have it all together and everyone else is wrong. Why are we told not to correct a mocker? (Hint: Proverbs 9:7-9) What can you do?
Mike mentioned that wisdom is something that must be searched out. How are you searching for wisdom? How can you search for wisdom?
Proverbs is a book chalk full of wisdom. Solomon wisdom was not just in the words but also in the lay out of the book. The book is 31 chapters long; perfect for one chapter a day. Take this next month and read through the book of Proverbs; one chapter a day.
