How to Become Wise

Becoming wise is a choice. The first thing one has to do is realize its benefits and its worth and then make it the focus of life. Proverbs 8

Wisdom can be gifted from God. James 1:5

We learn wisdom by experience… your experience and the experience of others like your parents and the old. Proverbs 29:15. Job 12:12

We learn wisdom through hard work. Proverbs 14:23.

Becoming wise is a partnership with God. You can’t do it by yourselves.

Seek after wise friends. Typically older people, parents, church elders/teachers/preachers. Go to church. Make it a habit to read Gods word. Make it a habit to read the writings of spiritually wise people.

Remember the opposite of wisdom is stupidity. Ignore God, ignore your parents. Ignore the Bible. Don’t go to church. Be lazy. Hang around with stupid, destructive people. Seek after pleasure.

There are a lot of stupid people in ther world... don't be one of them.

It’s easy to be stupid and poor but it takes effort to be wise and wealthy.
