DON'T BE THIS: SIMPLE
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgement, and equity;To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: Proverbs 1:1-5
The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Proverbs 14:18
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. Proverbs 14:15
God never designed life to be simple. You can see that there is nothing simple about our Creator. Look at the stars, the moon, the heavens. Look at the complexity of our biological systems and the chemistry and physics of nature. Woe to the simpleton. Woe to you if you lack the power to solve your problems through thoughtful choices, wise decisions. Folly makes decisions based on simple, meaningless notions resulting in short term ease. God has created us for wisdom, and justice, and judgement, and equity. We must consider matters, weigh them and choose right judgement. If a man lacks wisdom he is to ask God for it.
Today, receive the instruction of wisdom, and justice, and judgement, and equity.
