Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD (Proverbs 8:33,35)
I must be honest here, it is not easy always to receive instruction and not be defensive when being advised! But when the instruction is god's true wisdom, our obedience will show our love, dedication and total submission to God. When we obey God against our wisdom, experience and desire it will bring pleasure to our Heavenly Father. Whilst it our natural tendency to become defensive when receiving counsel Bible says only fools convinces himself that his own ideas are always best. Let us listen to godly counsel, hear it, apply it, and not refuse it, to be wise in His sight! Let us not snub away the prompting of the Holy Spirit! Wisdom, is not knowing all the answers, but hearing/ implementing the wise/faithful counsel of God's Word and being submissive to His instructions. If we walk in His wisdom we will receive favor of our Lord.
The one who finds wisdom finds life. The abundant, free, joyful life is only found in the favor of our Creator.
