We continue to listen as Solomon speaks to his sons. Wisdom and understanding are two separate things that he is attempting to give to them. What is the difference? Understanding is knowledge that can be gained by studying. Wisdom comes from the Lord. We need to understand the fear and respect for our creator

What is the fear of the Lord? Proverbs chapter 2 says that wisdom will enable us to understand that it is not fearing what He will do, but respecting His abilities, power, and judgment. What is correct, just, and fair? Some call this common sense, others believe they act with fairness, while friends and family view them as cruel.

He is our shield and guards our righteousness for us. As our shield he also protects us. You need a God who instructs you in what to do and not do. A father that warns his son to avoid promiscuous women should be common. Despite this candid advice many fall into the sexual trap.

Have you made decisions in your life that you regret today? Have relationships gone bad, jobs turned out to be the wrong position for you, or have you alienated family or friends by incorrect choices? Wisdom from Jehovah can prevent these troubles. Sexual decisions are also an area where we all need advice.
