The Way Of Wisdom

[Mr. M]

Being "On The Way" We Must Pursue Wisdom

Ecclesiastes 10:3 Even when a fool walks along the way,
He lacks wisdom, and he shows everyone that he is a fool.

Walking Without Wisdom Shows Neglect Towards the Holy Spirit

Proverbs 4:

10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,
And the years of your life will be many.
11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in right paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,
And when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go;
Keep her, for she is your life.

The Pursuit Of Holiness

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

WE MUST PURSUE HOLINESS UN-DEFILED BY UNSETTLED MATTERS

Hebrews 12:

14 Pursue peace with all people and holiness, 

without which no one will see the Lord: 

15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God...

Matthew 5: 

23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar,

and there remember that your brother has something against you, 

24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way.

First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 

25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him,

lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over

to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 

26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there

till you have paid the last penny.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,

who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Only a Fool would lack something when they need only ask

              The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
   
           *  Though it cost all you have, get understanding. *

                   Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
                  embrace her, and she will honor you.
            She will give you a garland to grace your head
               and present you with a glorious crown.”

 

Thanks again, Mr M...

“For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

As the spirit teaches me I do get sad and realize there is not much to say. So I stopped talking as much.

 

Just saying how it’s been affecting me. I doesn’t cause me to go out and repeat what I’m being told. It causes me to see it would be a waste of time because people really need the holy spirits help to understand. Human words are not enough.

“Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV

“We teach wisdom to people who are mature, but the wisdom we teach is not from this world. It is not the wisdom of the rulers of this world, who are losing their power. But we speak God’s secret wisdom that has been hidden from everyone until now.
 

God planned this wisdom for our glory. He planned it before the world began. None of the rulers of this world understood this wisdom. If they had understood it, they would not have killed our great and glorious Lord on a cross. But as the Scriptures say, “No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” Isaiah 64:4”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭ERV‬‬

Hi @Hopefully Proverbs 8 is another great chapter on the theme of wisdom, which points forward to Christ.
