Proverbs 13:1 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
It is a wise person who can show you what to do to get things right, but a wiser still person who will listen diligently to the instruction.
Anyone can follow instructions and make things look good, but it takes a wise person to accept what is being said and make it into something worthwhile.
The wisest words are not going to come from people who chase after the world and its riches but from the heart of a wise man of God.
Listening to God is one thing; following up what is said takes courage and wisdom.
