Godly Wisdom

Proverbs 15:20-24

A wise son makes a glad father,
As it delights him in his heart;
But fools disrespect their mother,
And emotionally tears her apart.

For foolish behavior is unwise,
That will be filled with deceit;
A pride not letting him apologize,
To them it would just be a defeat.

But one who has a good sense,
Keeps on the straight and narrow;
God gives him wisdom hence,
In knowing the path for tomorrow.

If there are no wise suggestions,
The outcome shows no purpose;
Your mind fills up with questions,
Moves as a ship with no compass.

Acting wisely can be a way of life,
Guiding you through all the trials;
As wisdom of God avoids the strife,
That keeps you from the denials.
