Beloved, hold tightly to wisdom, for there will always be temptation to compromise. But to the one who refuses to be swayed is satisfaction and peace. For compromise makes false promises, but wisdom is firm and steadfast. Blessed are those who walk in its way.

When you yield to true wisdom it is life-giving and a blessing to all. It cannot always be made sense of, and yet the truth of its sweetness is demonstrated in its fruit. So embrace divine wisdom, and walk in the abundant blessings it brings.

Proverbs 3:1 (VOICE) My son, always remember what I have taught you; keep my instructions dear to your heart.

Beloved, one who is wise seeks knowledge and understanding. They listen when they are taught. But they do not only listen, they also learn. And then they implement what they have learned. For of what use is the understanding of something that is never applied? That kind of knowledge puffs up. It is of no true value.

Listen, and learn well. Then as you seek to understand, be intentional to apply it to yourself. For My Spirit is fully able to lead you to truth in the perfect timing I have for you. So walk in wisdom, and apply it with understanding.

In this way, you will win the favor of God and others, and they will think well of you.
