1. “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” 2 “Making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding if you seek it like silver and search for it…
In John 7:16, and I quote: “Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.” Jesus was an eloquent, gifted teacher, but He was not self-taught; Jesus was God enlightened.

1. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” 2 “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.

Have you not heard that great men are not always wise? Yes, power does not equal wisdom. The context for the usage of Elihu’s wisdom text speaks to the understanding that: “Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.” (Job 32:9, KJV). The wisdom literature of the Old Testament explores the connections between prosperity and suffering, success and justice, among others. The contention could extend to understand that age, success, and the large number of people…
Wendell Berry said: “We must learn to acknowledge that the creation is full of mystery; we will never entirely understand it. We must abandon arrogance and stand in awe. We must recover the sense of the majesty of creation and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For I do not doubt that it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it.”
1. ” I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” 2 “The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar…

Kindly let me remind you of this: “Is this not written concerning you, me, and us? Yes, affirmatively: No conclusion until we are fully favoured, and all-around God’s blessings shall come upon our family! Yes, there will be no end until our rightful places appear, and we are indeed enthroned! They will make no decision; I mean, no human decision shall stand until it is decided in our favour!

1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” 2 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope….
