“Listen to Wisdom”
“Listen to Wisdom”
Blessings folk!
Proverbs 1 has shown us about wisdom.
What happens when people reject wisdom.
What happens when people receive wisdom.
The chapter closes with a synopsis…
Pro 1:28-29
“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD.
“They would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.
“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
“For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
“But he who listens to me shall live secure
And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
Reject wisdom?
- She will not respond when you call upon her
- Even when you diligently seek, she shall not be found
They brought it on themselves.
- They hated knowledge
- They did not choose to fear the Lord
- They would not accept the counsel of the Lord
- They spurned the reproof of wisdom
So…
- They eat the fruit of their own way
- They are satiated by their own devices
- They kill themselves
- They destroy themselves
But, the one who listens to wisdom…the one who receives wisdom…
- Shall live secure
- Will be at ease from the dread of evil
Are you living secure?
Are you free and at ease from the dread of evil?
If not, seek the wisdom of the Lord.
