What does wisdom do?
1) It will promote us.
2) It will bring us honor.
3) Give us an ornament of grace for our heads
4) A crown of glory
We can be taught the right way, and be lead in the right paths, but the steps of our walk are our own.
1) Our walk can be one that is not hindered.
2) We can run and not stumble.
3) It all depends on how we respond to wisdom when we hear it. Will we hold onto it and use it or reject it?
Proverbs 4:14-27 tells us to avoid evil.
How do we stay free from bad stuff?
1) Do not enter the path of the wicked.
2) Avoid it.
3) Turn away from it.
If we're driving a car, we stay away from flooded or dangerous roads. If we encounter an obstacle on the road such as a deer, we avoid hitting or running over it. If we happen to see something bad, we turn away from it and not allow our eyes to keep looking at it. We can save ourselves a lot of trouble by following this guidance: Do not enter, avoid, and turn away.
How do we despise the wisdom of God?
1) We hear it, but don't recognize it.
2) Pretend it is wise only to talk it down later. If we don't understand, ask questions!
3) Give in to a deceitful mouth and separate yourself from the life force God has given you.
