My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel. Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned. Proverbs 5:1-2 (NLT)
The number one way we acquire wisdom is through listening. The Scripture has admonished us to pay attention to God’s wisdom by listening carefully to His wise counsel. The Word of God is His counsel. We yield to God’s wisdom by paying attention to His Word, listening to it, obeying it. The number one way we act in wisdom is through speaking. The last part of our text Scripture says “Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned” You can activate and release wisdom in what you say. When we yield our lips to God’s Word, say God’s Word or speak in line with it, we are speaking the Wisdom of God, we are yielding to God’s wisdom. Yield to God’s wisdom as you hear His Word and as you speak it.
