Wisdom And Understanding

If a man should hear a word which is good
And not act upon it as he really should,
He makes no gain, for the impact is lost.
He has not grown, for which there is cost

When understanding has raised up it's voice,
Rejecting it's wisdom is not a good choice.
Wisdom and truth pave a path which is right.
Following there will bring increase of light.

Our God is faithful man's footsteps to guide,
But man must lay down his plans and his pride.
Choosing to hear and choosing to learn
Much understanding and wisdom will earn.

"Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee."
Proverbs 4:5-6 KJV
