Scripture: Proverbs 1:1-7
“The practice of gaining wisdom and becoming wise is a path that is traveled, not a door that is opened. We usually want the door.”
Les Newsom
“The fear of God is that affectionate reverence, by which the child of God bends himself humbly and carefully to his Father’s law.”
Charles Bridges
“Wisdom is for the humbly eager – one might almost say, for the lover, the suitor . . . It is not for the man ‘wise in his own eyes’: he thinks that he has arrived – and indeed he has, for he will never get a step further. His trouble is not intellectual; he is no fool . . . It is that he does not seriously want to be a better person; whereas the wise person is teachable to the end, open to God’s commands and chastening.”
