If we want to gain wisdom, we must yield to His Word and submit to His ways. How do we gain wisdom in a culture that is far from God? How do we know if we are actually in God's will or caving into our own fleshly desires? These are legitimate questions and ones we must ask ourselves so we can be sure to etch wisdom into our hearts and minds rather than caving to society and taking on worldly perspectives. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. He loves us! Our actions and speech must show that we serve a God of love. When we fear the Lord, as in showing reverence to Him, we long to respect, honor, and cherish what He does. Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.Īs believers, we must see love the way God does and honor it as such. God despises sin and prideful love because He knows it can cause rebellion, drifting us further away from Him and causing grave damage to our souls. God's love says His ways are better than ours and that we should seek Him for guidance on loving well. Where the world tells us to accept and celebrate "ourselves" and our sins, God tells us to put ourselves aside and put others first. Real, pure, and innocent love is not full of pride that is self-seeking but instead yearns to love God and others with compassion and selfless sacrifice.
