Wisdom will protect you.....

Proverbs 2:11 says that discretion will protect you and understanding will guard you. Did you ever have great apprehension about a decision that you had to make? The less wisdom the more insecure we are about where our decisions will lead us. None of us are wise right from childbirth and so the gaining of wisdom does take time. On the other hand, I know a lot of unwise elderly folks and also know some folks that are very wise at an early age. Time can be frittered away and so folks that have a lot of time on this earth do not necessarily have great wisdom. Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age but rather with an attitude of heart that is teachable.

I have seen many with less talent surpass those with more because of their dedication and teachability. We call these folks over achievers. I disagree. I think these folks are wise and because of their teachablity they become all that God wants them to be and more. The wisdom of these folks have protected them from the negative and seductive reasoning of the world which is puffed up and prideful.
