When God says...
He affirms that a wise man is one who is a lifelong learner. He is quick to listen and slow to speak, which is a very good attitude to gain knowledge. A man of understanding is eager for advice by older, wiser mentors from the Scriptures. They are easy to be instructed by someone who has already experienced the same thing they are about to face. These wise counsels can save a seeker of wisdom from many mistakes. The wise believer will have the ability to guide or govern his life and others with truth.
Lord Jesus said that apart from the spirit of truth, we look through a dark glass. We cannot understand the secrets of proverbs and parables. We can only understand them to the extent that the Holy Spirit reveals them to us. Even the disciples had the Lord Jesus interpret His parables to them.
Now, being saved by the Lord Jesus through faith by His grace - not our merit, the Holy Spirit who is in us working as our teacher, helps us interpret the hidden meanings of God's word.
Proverbs seeks to sharpen the mind of those who seek knowledge and wisdom for right living. Study of the scriptures is sufficient to provide the wisdom for the perplexities of life. Let's be a learner and be teachable. Invite the Holy Spirit in our life. Lord Jesus said - "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." (John 14:26 NKJV)
And I say ... AMEN!

Amen to this! Truly true wisdom can only be provided by the Spirit through His Word. Without the Holy Spirit enlightenment, we are all in a dark.
Our God who is sovereign His plan cannot be thwarted. His promises will surely be done for it is His decree and will. Therefore, whatever God says, we we belivers should say Amen! This is our gesture of faith- that regardless of whatever circumstances we have, He is the God who controls everything. The One who holds the universe is the One who holds us. Amen!
