GOD'S WAYS TO BECOME WISE
PROVERBS 9:7-10
7Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. 8Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. 9Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
9: 7-10 Are you a mocker or a wise person? You can tell by the way you respond to criticism. Instead of replying with a quick put-down or clever retort when rebuked, listen to what others tell you. Learn from those who correct you; this is the path to wisdom. Ignore the initial sting of embarrassment and look for those who correct you; this is the path to wisdom. Ignore the initial sting of embarrassment and look for helpful ideas. Wisdom begins with getting to know God. He gives insight into how we should live because he created life. To know God means more than just knowing the facts about him; you must respect his mighty power and cultivate a relationship with him. Do you really want to be wise? Get to know God better and better.

ON THE WAY HOME WALK WITH JESUS and make sure that you are adhering to GOD'S ways of becoming wiser and let your relationship with him grow stronger everyday. And DON'T get trapped in the worlds way of being foolish!!
