Proverbs 1

20-23 wisdom is calling out to be heard, are we going to respond? or are we going to ignore? 

24-27 if you ignore wisdom, it will leave you, and it will turn you away. 

28-31 when you ignore wisdom and brush it aside, it will hide from you when you ask for it. you will not be able to find it. 

32-33 if you are complacent and lazy, ignoring the wise, you will come to ruin. but those who listen to wisdom and make it part of their lives will be safe and at ease.

i would rather listen to the wisdom of the Lord, the wisdom of others, listen to the words of the wise people in my life, and apply their words.. 

than to ignore it and become a fool, be scrambling for peace and clarity.
