June 14 - Be Wise.

6/14/2018

Proverbs 27:11
“My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.”
 
A direct request and command, Solomon advises his son to simply be wise.
A wise child makes the heart of their parents glad.
 
Throughout the Canon of Scriptures, the phrase “be wise” appears 20 times in 18 verses. Half of those verses are found in Proverbs, showing us the importance of obtaining Wisdom.
 
Proverbs 6:6
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:”
 
Proverbs 8:33
“Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.”
 
Proverbs 9:12
“If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.”
 
Proverbs 13:20
“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”
 
Proverbs 19:20
“Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.”
 
Proverbs 23:15
“My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.”
 
Proverbs 23:19
“Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.”
 
Proverbs 26:5
“Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.”
 
After the Lord uses Solomon to write the importance of being wise in Proverbs, we see his failure to remain wise.
 
Ecclesiastes 7:23
“All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.”
 
There is a danger of neglecting the Wisdom we receive by refusing to apply the Truths of the Word of God to our lives. Solomon lost his perspective of using his God given Wisdom for good. He ended up admitting this all throughout the Book of Ecclesiastes.
 
May we learn from Solomon’s example, and seek to not only be wise, but also remain wise through the Wisdom of the Word.

A wise person knows how to make a move, a move if it is right or not. We are faced with different decisions everyday and we have the power on which decision we should choose. The mind knows the right choice, we just need to follow what our conscience is saying to us. This will be our guide for a better choice. Words of wisdom can come from our parents or from our friends, we just need to look closer so that the answer will be revealed to us. Let us look at each side to see the affecting factors.
