Wise men

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. Proverbs 17:10

Gods plan for us is simple. Man has clouded His plan up so much that it is hard to understand let alone follow.
Our own self interest drives everything else to the rear in our minds. We must constantly strive to do His will.
We have been told that knowledge is king, but without wisdom ,the ability to apply knowledge to our lives, knowledge is nothing. The adage of "can't find their way out of a wet paper bag" describes a person with nothing but knowledge! Like the passage today says, be wise, know how to apply knowledge to your life and the world around you.
A wise man will encourage criticism. It is a way to improve yourself.
A wise man learns from their mistakes.
A mistake made once should be a learning experience. Made twice you didn't learn!
How many mistakes haven't you learned from? Our education into wisdom never stops.

At least that is what I think.
