Proverbs 13:18-Poverty and shame will be to him who refuses instruction, but he who regards reproof will be honored.

Proverbs 13:18- NIV Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.

We live in a society and world today that is straying away from the principles of God's word as to the standard of life living that God has called us to in His Word.

Instead of calling right “right” and wrong “wrong,” anything goes and everything is accepted freely except the Gospel, the one thing that is needed more than anything in this world.

Only a fool believes that God is a fool! How in the world can you be smarter than your creator? Explain that to me! In all your getting, get understanding!

The call to humanity now more than ever is to to walk (live our life) in the wisdom of God and not in the wisdom of "SELF PRIDE." We are told in Proverbs 4:7-Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

To walk in the wisdom of God is to be wise. To walk not in the wisdom of God is foolish.

Wise in your own eyes and refusing instructions from the Word of God? The bible calls you a "FOOL!"

The waves and currents of "self" are full of uncertainty and guaranteed defeat. Without the anchor called "Jesus" in this stormy, rainy and sometimes thunderous seas of life, we are bound to drown and be lost out at sea forever.

Where do you stand today as far as the wise counsel of God that is being offered to you? Do you believe you have a need for it?

The choice that we are all left with today is to accept or refuse Godly counsel.

Poverty and shame will be to him who refuses instructions, but he who regards reproof will be honored.

God bless.
