If the Shoe Fits

Proverbs 9:6 (NLT) Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.”

This chapter is not complimentary of humanity.  We have the picture of Wisdom going to the place where the people are and inviting them to come and partake of what she offers.  That is good.  Wisdom is available, but notice that little word “simple”.  There is a constant reference to people who don’t seem to see the obvious.

In the New Testament the concept is expressed in the fact that natural man cannot comprehend the things of God.  The point being made here is that you don’t need to understand or be able to explain, you need to be willing to sit and listen.  We come into His presence simple.  He teaches us and we begin to absorb wisdom.

So?  This will apply at whatever level we are currently at.  God will continue to speak to us and give us wisdom if we come into His presence.
