Practical Christianity:

Honey, and your honey

Jam 1:5

What is wisdom?

chokmah : mastery of the art of living in accordance with God’s expectations.

Wisdom is mastery of the best ways of doing things to achieve the desired result.

Wisdom is knowing the right thing to do, and then doing it.

How to make the right choices and take the right actions in our daily lives.

Pro 1:1-7

Wisdom begins with instruction.

Wisdom resides in understanding.

Wisdom leads to wise behavior.

Wisdom is instruction in righteousness, as well as justice,
2Ti 3:16-17.

There are three kinds of people introduced here in Proverbs 1.

1. The naïve youth
2. The wise man of understanding
 
and 3. the fool

Wisdom is a life-long commitment to learning, understanding, and wise behavior.

The beginning of wisdom, the root of wisdom, is fear of the Lord.

The source of all real wisdom, the good kind, is God.

Pro 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

The opposite of wisdom is foolishness or folly.

The opposite of the wise man is the fool.

There is the wisdom of God, but there is also the wisdom of the world.

Wisdom from above or Godly wisdom.

Wisdom from below or demonic wisdom.

Jam 3:13-18

 We are called by God to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

Instruction, understanding, and behavior.

Rom 16:19-20

Our next practical subject in Proverbs
is the subject of sex and marriage.
