Humility vs. Pride

"The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility." Proverbs 15.33

The main characteristic of those who are born of the Spirit is humility. It was the remarkable nature of the character of the Lord Jesus on Earth, and it could not be different from that of His followers.
But the characteristic of the children of the devil is pride, the mark of Cain and his descendants.

The wise

"Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like." Luke 6.47

Wisdom is a virtue that few possess. Not because it is only available to a few people. But because few are willing to pay the price to acquire it.
The teachings of Jesus, when practiced, can materialize the impossible dreams. Those who are wise invest in it and reap a lifetime of distinction from the foolish.

FLESH OR SPIRIT

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."    Romans 8:5-6

Those who seek to fulfill the desires of the flesh (soul) will reap pain and suffering, until they are finished off by death. 
But those who seek to obey the Spirit of God, that is, practice what the Word of the Spirit has inspired them, will enjoy the present and also the eternal salvation that is to come.

THINK LIKE GOD

"Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and we shall walk before My anointed forever."    1 Samuel 2:35

The children of God hear and practice His Word. Therefore, they proceed with dignity in their hearts and their minds are infused with the Father's wisdom.

WISE HEART

"The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness."   Proverbs 15:14

Great knowledge comes from the teachings of the Word of God. It is within these teachings that we acquire a  wise heart, to go up against this world and be victorious until death. However, those who are foolish turn their back to these teachings.

THE WISE

"Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth." Proverbs 17:24

Those who meditate on God's Word will receive His wisdom. But foolish men despise the Almighty's knowledge and spend their life chasing the wind. Sooner or later they will fall into obscurity.

Defense

“For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.” Ecclesiastes 7:12 

The pursuit for money is huge nowadays, but money cannot make one’s soul rich. Divine wisdom however, satisfies the body, soul and spirit. Therefore, whoever finds it, receives life.

Keep it pure

"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Psalms 119:9

To observe God's teachings is to practice His Word. This gives a young person wisdom to build a family, a career, and friendships.

Ways of success

"When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase." Proverbs 28:28

Only those who are sealed by the Holy Spirit can resist and overcome evil. The Spirit of God has given those who are His, wisdom, understanding, and authority above all power of darkness.

Breath

"But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding."Jó 32:8

When one sacrifices one's life for God, the Breath of His Spirit lives in one's body, making one wise.

Wisdom of the Spirit

"And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke." Acts 6:10

The Spirit that used Jesus and His disciples in thhe past want to use those who put themselves available to Him today. He wants to do today what He did in the past. But He needs empty vases for that.

Speak with wisdom

"She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness."

Proverbs 31:26

The lips of the wise woman exhales wisdom. In her few words, there's goodness present.

Known

"Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land."

Proverbs 31: 23

The wisdom of the wise woman is her husband's perfume. And so he is honored and respected among all others.

Security

"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."

Proverbs 11:14

You'll only find true guidance in the Word of God. The servant who practices and teaches it, is safe.

Hidden treasure

"Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;"

Proverbs 2:3-4

He who asks, receives, who seeks, finds. But he who values wisdom will certainly have guidance for life and many riches.

Wise Spirit

"And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke." Acts 6:10 

Those who are filled with the Spirit of God speak in power and authority. There is no evil that can resist them when they're in the faith -- that's how those who are chosen by God overcome.

More precious

"Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, for the price of wisdom is above rubies." Job 28:17,18

The fear of God Job had led him to acquire wisdom. Even when he was tested by the fire, he never blasphemed against God. For this reason, He was able to have his family and wealth back in double.

Much knowledge is nothing without wisdom. The atomic bomb inventor had much knowledge, but lacked wisdom.

Uncalled

"In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise." Proverbs 10:19

When one speaks too much, one end up speaking of what is uncalled for. That's why it's better to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth. What does that really mean?

TARGET

"Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth." Proverbs 17:24

The target of those who live by the intelligent faith is to seeks God's wisdom, but those who do not wish to heed to the Divine counsel will be stuck in time.
