“ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: And the knowledge of the holy is understanding. ” Proverbs 9 : 9 - 10 KJV  “ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding (Proverbs 4 : 7 )” suggests the prospect of all kinds of getting in the world outside the purview of the principal thing. Ironically, all kinds of getting that produce material affluence, artificial intelligence, financial prosperity, and physical strength are readily twisted as wisdom. Whereas, this worldly wisdom in God’s economy is simply considered as foolishness. If the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and not even wisdom yet, it is not surprising why the fear of the lords and principalities of worldly wisdom is foolishness. The fear of the LORD provides access to the gracious gateway towards the accumulation and application of godly ...

  ” Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding. “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. “ ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ There appears to be a very thin line between wisdom and wickedness in our world. That’s the reason why two wrongs can never make a right. When the scripture says “ he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself ”, it exposes the faceless foolishness in falling into the trap of anger, secret hatred, and unforgiving spirit in every bit to enforce justice. Wisdom demands a careful exposure of every act of wickedness without getting entangled into unrighteousness. It is the responsibility of a wise man to accept correction from wrong doings or wickedness. Otherwise, he is simply treated as a contagious scoffer to be graciously avoided. And to avoid a faceless foolishness in relationships, believers ...

  ““The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ There is something freaky about foolishness. It is not the absence of some wisdom; foolishness is simply the lack of understanding. The possession of some wisdom breeds pride, arrogance, and the promotion of personal idea without the understanding of how its beginning links with its ending. Whereas, understanding promotes the unrestricted use of wisdom, from the beginning to the end. Even the smart world embraces the advancement and the principle of understanding through the celebration of innovation and the publication of new knowledge. New editions of a knowledge base will readily correct and replace the old editions without restriction and confrontation. And if only God knows the ending of knowledge from its beginning, it is little wonder why understanding is simply the knowledge of the Holy One. Only those who are trapped under the deception of th...

“If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/pro.9.12.nkjv Anyway who has ever gone forward to offer a seemingly harmless advice in exchange of a socking attack knows the relevance of channeling right words through the right way. The scriptures claim that God is the absolute repertoire of wisdom and the fear of the Almighty in every relationship with man is the beginning of walking in the wise way. Human's view about any matter in life is personal; but a godly counselor knows the sacredness of divine guidance in every counseling section, rather than alluding to personal experiences or preferences. Now, either the product of a counseling section is acknowledged by God as being a wise word or a scoff word, the counselor must earn either the respect or the retribution of the Great Counselor (God). Therefore, wise way is more about righteousness in pursuing the knowledge of God, rather than t...
