Five things wise people do

“The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.” Proverbs 13:14-15

Wisdom is the principal thing. The real wise men are known by the way they act and the results they obtain. Let me share with you this morning five things that wise people do.

They acknowledge the existence of God and put Him first in their decisions, plans, and actions. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalm 14:1

They do what God says. “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:” Mathew 7:24

They prepare themselves properly for what they want to do. “But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.” Mathew 25:4

They work hard and smartly do. “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:” Proverbs 6:6. “If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.” Ecc 10:10

They acquire and use relevant information. “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.” Proverbs 12:15

You will not enter the snares of death and your way will not be hard in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in Jesus name.
