Live Wisdom

(Pro 1:3 KJV)  To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

As I was reading this morning the phrase “wise behavior” (7919a) caught my attention.  In the KJV it is simply “wisdom” which seems a bit too simple.  The actual meaning of the Hebrew is “prudent” but in both translations it has a multitude of different ways it is expressed.  In glancing through the translations on my software I thought it interesting the variety of ways it was given here.  The idea of “wise dealing” came up.  

What hit me was the practical nature of wisdom.  It is to be lived.  It is not just a series of axioms to memorize and quote.  It is a behavior.  It is to be demonstrated in every day activities.

So?  As we go through the book again, listen and apply.  Live wisdom.
