Proverbs 2 v 9 - 11 - Virtues of Wisdom


v9 tells us that when we have wisdom, we will understand right from wrong, what the good and right thing to do but from God's eyes, not from the world's eyes. There are some overlapping ideas, but it is doing what God thinks is right. This is a very simple concept, we said earlier that wisdom is about having experience, possibly first hand, or second hand. if you've seen or you know the effects of drugs, you will know that it is wrong, illegal and not what God wants, so you've learnt through experience.

virtue #1 - righteousness - being right, knowing what is right and doing it. conforming to God's way of thinking.



virtue #2 - judgement - judging correctly, analyse a matter clearly and come to a correct conclusion


virtue #3 - equity - being fair in a situation, and impartial, makes people trust you a lot more


Wisdom will come into your mind, and knowledge will please you. emphasis here on the internalization of wisdom, how it must be head and heart knowledge and that we're applying it to every day life.
