There are enough fools in the world!

Raising Kids in the Age of Foolishness: Proverbs 2 Template for Attaining Wisdom

Proverbs 2 gives clear methods of acquiring wisdom. When also applied in the negative, foolishness will be the result. Note these and the contrasts:

IF YOU…….

Receive my sayings                                                    Reject the sayings

Treasure my commandments                            Trash the commandments

Make your ear attentive                                           Don’t pay attention/distractions

Incline your heart                                                        Stay ridged and stiff-necked, unbending

Cry for discernment                                                   Stay silent/let it pass by

Lift your voice                                                             Stay quiet/don’t ask questions

Seek her as silver/hidden treasure                  Seek lesser things/entertainment

If we continue in Proverbs 2, look for the outcomes:

THEN……

Discern the fear of the Lord

Discover the knowledge of God

Discern righteousness, justice, equity, good course

Deliver you from the way of evil

Deliver you from the perverse man

Deliver you from the strange woman

Notice the goals of wisdom:

DISCERNMENT, DISCOVERY, AND DELIVERANCE.
