The Way Of The Wise

In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.
- Proverbs 12:28

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- Proverbs 1:1-7

Discipline: Corrective discipline is God’s choice. Constructive discipline is our choice.

Discernment: An ability to not just avoid pain, but to see possibilities.

“I would summarize the modern sense of self as that which prioritizes inner feelings over pretty much everything else.”
- Carl Trueman, ‘The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self’

Understanding: The best decisions are preceded by the best questions.

Prudence: Practical wisdom that is created from practice.

Knowledge: When you see as God sees, you do as God says to do.
