3 Practical Biblical Steps to Wisdom

3 Practical Biblical Steps to Wisdom

The Value of Wisdom:
Wisdom is priceless Prov 4v7
Wisdom leads to life Prov 15v24
Wisdom brings prosperity Prov 8v18
Wisdom gives security Prov 4v6
Wisdom touches the whole person 1Ki 3v12
Wisdom results in right action Col 4v5
Wisdom results in watchfulness Mt 25v1-10

There are Three Key Words in the Book of Proverbs: Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom.
Knowledge: Acquiring facts about things as they are.
Understanding: Properly interpreting those facts.
Wisdom: Practically applying those facts to real life.

1. Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. (1 Cor. 1v24; Prov 1v20, 8v1, 9v1-5; Prov 9v10; Ps 111v10; Mt 10v28)

2. Wisdom prepares for the future, it doesn’t procrastinate in the present. (Prov 6v6-8; Mt 25v8; Mt 7v26; Gen 41v34)

Way of the Ant:
Self-motivation without external pressure
Timeliness without procrastination
Preparation for the future, not short-sighted

The 5 Marks of a Sluggard:
1. Procrastination (Prov 20v4)
2. Neglect of Duties (Prov 24v30-34).
3. Love of Sleep (Prov 6v9-11)
4. Making Excuses (Prov 22v13)
5. Lack of Initiative

The 5 Consequences of a Sluggard:
1. Poverty: Neglecting work and responsibilities leads to financial instability and lack (Prov 10v4)
2. Unfulfilled Needs: Needs remain unmet due to their inaction (Prov 20v4)
3. Ruin and Decay: Deterioration of one’s property and resources (Prov 24v30-34)
4. Public Dishonor: Poor reputation and scorn within the community (Prov 12v24)
5. Dependency: Dependent on others due to their unwillingness to take care of themselves.

3. Wisdom flees temptation, not flirts with it. (Prov 14v16, 16v6, 5v8)
Wisdom is more a moral quality rather than an intellectual one. Being "foolish" means being godless (Ps. 14v1; 2 Sam. 13v13).

Wisdom doesn’t just run from sin; it avoids situation that leads to sin.
