Re:Verse passage – Proverbs 15:15-17 (day five)
Some honest questions that sometimes creep in to my heart and mind… What does all this “wisdom speak” look like in real life? Are these platitudes that people never personally deal with? How do they really work and function?
These verses seem to be declaring that a heart set on wisdom (fear of the Lord) will somehow experience and process real life in a different kind of way. Ok, but how?
I love it when scripture clarifies and illustrates other scripture. A great picture of this “Wisdom Principle” is seen in the Apostle Paul’s life and writing. “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:11-13) Looks like the way of Godly Wisdom to me.
