The Way of Understanding


Pro 9:6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. 
Pro 9:7  He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 
Pro 9:8  Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 
Pro 9:9  Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 
Pro 9:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 
Pro 9:11  For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 

Wisdom and understanding begins with the fear, the reverence of the LORD. Spiritual growth begins by receiving forgiveness and new life in Jesus and sharing this new life with others who seek God's truth.We should avoid the scorner and the foolish people, for they do not want understanding of what is good.   We are to increase in holiness as we are motivated by the love of God, love of his word, his creation and love for others who were created to be in his image. Be with those who are wise and share with those of the faith of God. More love to thee, my Lord.
