As fathers, we want our children to learn from our mistakes. In Proverbs 4, King Solomon encourages his sons to follow his advice. He learned from his father and the process continues. He recounts the advantages of wisdom and understanding.

Wisdom is described as a woman. She will watch over you, guard you, exalt you, and honor you. She will give you a garland of grace and a crown of glory. She is supreme. Oh, by the way, get understanding also.

Years can be added to your life by avoiding folly. It will lead you into evil and wickedness. The path of righteousness is as bright as the dawn. The way of the wicked is darkness and they stumble in it.

There is a way that is correct and one that is evil. Most of us want to be the type of man or woman who does right. We err without intending to. Some intentionally cause problems for others for their own gain of pleasure. Our actions grow from what is inside of us. We can ask Jehovah for wisdom to become the servants we should be or follow selfish desires that make us useless to others.
