Wisdom

Proverbs 27:1-9

What do you do when someone is candid with you in giving you sound advice?

Did it cause you to think twice?

Or did it cause your reaction to be as cold as ice?

Did you thank God for bringing someone into your life that spoke the truth?

They used His Word, the Scripture, to tell you what you need to do. 

From your experience, did you learn how to receive and give wise advice?

Did the experience teach you that wisdom is the proper use of knowledge in meeting the need in being sufficed?

“The pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.” Proverbs 27:9.

A THOUGHT TO REFLECT ON

With the kindness of candor in being frank, a friend will give you unpleasant advice when you need it, knowing it is for your good. However, by contrast, an enemy will say what your ears want to hear that sounds sweet and makes you feel good, leading you to ruin.
