We learn true wisdom when we look at the character of God. Three verses in Proverbs illustrate the sovereignty of the God behind all wisdom.
Wisdom is about cultivating a higher sense of “the good life”—not giving ourselves up for power, popularity, or possessions, but submitting to Christ.
True wisdom is a gift from God. God provides it, we become more and more conformed to His image, bearing the aroma of Christ.
What we do with our money matters. The world tempts us to use money for earthly benefits, but there is a way to leverage temporal gain for the eternal.
The love of money can lead to spiritual adultery. Proverbs gives us three reasons why focusing on making money over loving God is foolish.
We truly begin to walk in wisdom when our speech demonstrates self-control. Instead of answering out of anger, speak calmly out of love.
When it comes to our words, less is better than more. Sin likes to sneak into our lives through our lips, so a quality of the wise is to speak less often.
How do you use your words? Because words are powerful, they can do much harm or much good.
What are the characteristics of the wise? The book of Proverbs shows us 7 of them, all of which relate to our relationships.
