This week’s Bible study passage is a powerful one as it touches many different important virtues and ways a christian ought to deal with things. Continuing our discourse on the difference between wisdom and foolishness. The rest of proverbs 11 reveals to us more forms of wisdom: Wisdom is in seeking counsel while submitting to God and saying “Let what was ordained before all ages happen to me” Wisdom allows us to heal each other with love while avoiding unnecessary criticism which leads to the paralysis of our neighbor’s growth. Wisdom is present in the inner beauty, it is the adornment of a gracious woman and the riches of mighty men. Wisdom is placed on what is of value and cannot be misplaced on what is worthless and leads to death. Let us hearken to be freed from sin which binds us!
