Proverbs 1:5-7 (NKJV) 5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, 6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Wisdom is such an important, yet overlooked part of life.
Many times people tend to think that if we’re followers of Christ, we just need to be super spiritual and let God lead us by His spirit, and that we don’t need to think for ourselves.
And while we do need to be led by His spirit, every single day, we also need to heed wisdom and wise counsel in so much of what we do. The two go hand in hand quite often.
There will definitely be times when conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to line up with what God’s spirit is telling us or showing us. We’ve taught on that a lot. But if we’re not getting clear direction from God’s spirit about a situation or a decision, we need to follow wisdom.
The Bible clearly says that if we despise wisdom, we are fools. I don’t know about you, but being a fool is not one of my lifetime goals.
So, as hard as it might seem sometimes, it will always benefit us to wait on God and listen, and seek wise counsel in those decisions that are critical and important.
