Friday!

Proverbs!

Proverbs 5:1-2 NLT

My son, 

pay attention to my wisdom; 

listen carefully to my wise counsel.

Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you've learned.

Proverbs 5:1-2 NLT

The "Pay attention" and repeated "Listen carefully" are the first things that hit here - the kind of wisdom the writer wants to pass on takes careful consideration, it requires our attention, study, reflection, learning.

It's let this sink in, apply it, realise that something might need to shift, to change as a result...

And the collection of wisdom will change how we speak in 2 ways;

What we do say.

And what we don't say.

Our words come from the heart, and wisdom shapes and changes us, our core, our mind, our will, our heart. 

Yes wisdom is shared in Proverbs, in the rest of Scripture, and, in the person of Jesus. Let Him shape our hearts, minds, will, who we are and who we're becoming.
