If you aren’t learning to do the right thing, you aren’t acquiring wisdom.The dictionary defines wisdom as “knowledge and good judgment based on experience.” That sounds good, but what if your experiences aren’t so good? What if you make some bad choices that lead to some negative experiences? About the only wisdom you can acquire is the wisdom not to do that stuff again!

Hey, we’ve all been there, so we all have to ask ourselves, “How do we get the wisdom to do what’s right? Where do we begin?”

Here’s Solomon’s advice: “Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). That doesn’t mean we are afraid of God. As Chuck Swindoll says, to fear God means to “take Him seriously and do what He says.” When you do what God says, you do what’s right. And when you do what’s right, you are wise.

Those who are wise will find a time and a way to do what is right.

Ecclesiastes 8:5
