Listen and accept—two key words

Proverbs 19:20 “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.” How does one acquire the treasures enjoyed by experiencing a life—thoughts, words and actions—ruled by wisdom?  This Proverb gives us the answer.  First–do you and I want to live such a life?  For every Christian the answer is–definitely.  How do we enjoy such a life?  Surround ourselves with the wise and carefully listen and then make that wisdom a part of our being.  Study the Bible–be friends with those who do the same–and then apply the written and spoken words of wisdom and discipline.
