Lena's Journalin' To Proverbs 9

Do you know that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom.
Wisdom is an action word. It is the practical application of knowledge.
The Holy Spirit does the word of God in the earth. He teaches us and tells us of the words of God for us to also do/apply in earth.
Wisdom, builds rather than tears down.
Wisdom prepares the way for others to eat what has been given by the Lord. It serves others and invites others to be welcomed in an atmosphere where change can easily occur.
Wisdom teaches the ways of the Lord, which are contrary to our natural minds’ ways, and those who heed its words carry out the instruction through practical application of good judgments.
Eat the food I have fixed. That means someone else initiated the instruction and commanded the actions and I follow through on their word. It is very hard for an independent and free American to move on someone else’s initiatives, to “eat” someone else’s liking, or selection.
Mockers are those who shake their heads, yeah yeah as someone speaks and instructs, but they go away taking every instruction as an opinion and an option and do what they would anyway. It is mockery to nod, and then go do differently, as though you paid your respects to at least listen to the speaker. It is not respect to listen to a speaker with no intent to do what is said. If that is the case, it’d be better to not hear his words, especially not nod at them. He’ll misunderstand that you are with him and your walk will be a betrayal to Him.
On the other hand, wise sons are looking for the instruction of fathers. They cannot wait to be led to further changes. They listen with intent to do His will and plan. They go from wisdom to wisdom in constant application of the words, knowing there is only one way to the Father, His way. They choose to go that way straight one, rather than every which way and a round about way, and a loop-way, which takes so very long.
They know the signs of the times, for the days are evil and way to short to mess with a self serving lifestyle. They must recieve all they can to become what He needs to save His world.
