Wisdom for Life's Journey - Proverbs 9

We learn from the scriptures that attitude means so much. Wisdom teaches that one can do little to help those who refuse to receive help. Sometimes we can have the best intentions and still be rejected by others. Proverbs 9 says that a wise person will receive correction and profit from it. A just person is able to be taught and will increase in knowledge.
The fear of the Lord is where wisdom begins and through this knowledge we can better understand the will of God for our life. The attitude by which we approach life greatly influences what we receive in life. The humble in spirit will be blessed by God to grow in wisdom and understanding. The proud will suffer for lack of wisdom that comes from the Lord. May we daily seek God with the attitude that spending time with Him will result in wisdom for life’s journey.
