If you ever want to learn about the value of wisdom just begin reading the book of Proverbs and you will soon discover how valuable it is. It is something that we simply cannot do without. I call it, “wisdom’s winning voice” because obeying words of wisdom will always lead to success.
For instance, following wisdom will protect you from harm. It will open doors for you. It will keep you away from the wrong people, and stop you from getting involved in wrong situations. Wisdom will also promote you, and cause others to seek specific help from you.
Ignoring the voice of wisdom is foolish because it comes from God and He knows all things. We will never know a better way than how He leads us. His word even instructs us to ask Him for wisdom if it is lacking in our lives.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you – James 1:5 NIV
It’s vitally important to remember that there is always a cost to pay when the choice is made not to listen to words of wisdom. This is especially true when you are aware that the Lord is showing you a better way of doing something and the unwise choice is made to ignore Him. It is disrespectful and turns into rebellion.
Make this a time that you consciously commit to allowing wisdom to be active in your life like never before. As you do, you can expect advancement to occur. Obeying the voice of wisdom will always cause you to win.
