"WISE QUOTES"
Wisdom and knowledge are NOT the same thing!
Knowledge is nothing more than an accumulation of few facts, but
wisdom is the ability to see people, events, and situations as
God sees them.
In Proverbs, matters pertaining to personal behavior, sexual relations, business, money, goals, discipline, raising children, character, alcohol, politics, revenge, and godliness are among the many topics covered in this vast collection of wise sayings.
Important Verses in Proverbs are: Proverbs 1:5, "let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance."
Proverbs 1:7, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
Proverbs 4:5, "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them."
Proverbs 8:13-14, "To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power."
Proverbs also tells us, and repeats it, that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (1:7; 9:10).
Our fear of the Lord’s wrath and justice is what drives us to Christ, who is the embodiment of God’s wisdom. But Proverbs also tells us that the world’s way is not God’s way (Proverbs 3:7) and leads
only to death (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25).
Proverbs is the greatest "how-to" book ever written and those who have the good sense to take
Solomon's lessons to heart will quickly discover godliness, prosperity, and contentment are
theirs for the asking.
The promise of the Book of Proverbs is that those who choose wisdom and follow God will be
blessed in numerous ways: with long life (9:11); prosperity (2:20-22); joy (3:13-18); and the
goodness of God (12:21). Those who reject Him, on the other hand, suffer shame and
death (3:35; 10:21). To reject God is to choose folly over wisdom and is to separate ourselves
from God, His Word, His wisdom and His blessings.
