Persevering With Wisdom, Instruction, and Correction

 Persevering With Wisdom, Instruction, and Correction

Positive Christianity Series Episode #100


We learn in the Sacred Scriptures about the manner that GOD Almighty instructed Moses on Mount Sinai about the importance of obeying the commandments Exodus 20: 1-17. We learn that Moses is able to instruct wisdom and correction with the obedience to the commandments. We learn that the intention of the heart and the mind must be to love GOD Almighty with all our heart, mind, being, strength, and everything that we are. We learn that this wisdom is able to allow us to obey all the commandments given to Moses on two tablets of stone. We learn that obeying the commandments of Moses allows us to receive instruction and correction. This describes the importance of developing humility and responsibility so that we persevere in the path of eternal salvation obeying GOD Almighty. We learn that this is described being wisdom and allows us to persevere having fidelity to the GOD of gods, GOD Almighty.

We learn that in the times of Solomon, Israel increases and abounds because of their obedience to the commandments of Moses after seeing the positive example of David and being guided by a righteous Solomon that initially did not practice idolatry. We learn that Solomon learned about the importance of obeying the commandments from David and also from the writings of Moses. We learn that Solomon describes the importance of obeying the commandments of Moses in the Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Solomon describes the manner that obeying the commandments allows individuals to grow in virtues describing wisdom, righteousness, justice, and equality. We learn that these positive virtues are given by GOD Almighty to individuals that decide to have fidelity to GOD Almighty and receive instruction and accept correction. This describes the manner that GOD Almighty wants us to improve each day and not stagnate in vices.

"The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice and equity."- Proverbs 1: 1-3

We learn that initially, in the story of Solomon, Solomon asks GOD Almighty for wisdom. GOD Almighty asked Solomon what he would desire to have? We learn that Solomon does not choose other things that are typically asked for describing wealth and such things. We learn that Solomon asked for wisdom to be able to distinguish good from evil and be able to lead Israel with righteousness and avoid evil. We learn that GOD Almighty sees the intention of Solomon and blesses Solomon with wisdom. We learn that Solomon writes the Proverbs to instruct the importance of obeying the commandments of Moses and instructs wisdom to Israel. We learn that this allows us to see the genuine empathy that existed initially when Solomon was not practicing idol worship.

"To give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth- Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles."- Proverbs 1: 4-6

We learn that with the worship of GOD Almighty, we begin to grow in wisdom. We learn that we develop prudence and humility to know that we can not practice idol worship because it only leads to difficulties, stagnation, and destruction. We learn that we are able to develop virtues instead of vices that allow us to prosper and  persevere in the path of eternal salvation worshiping GOD Almighty, confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, and repenting of sin. We learn that while we keep growing in virtues describing wisdom, we are supposed to practice humility so that there is no arrogance that tries to lead to idol worship, negative emotions, envy, and vices. We learn that humility allows us to accept correction and reproof so that we do not believe the temporary lies of evil that want to say that, "the increase of virtues is because of yourself." We are able to distinguish truth from lies. We are able to acknowledge the importance of correction and reproof so that we develop humility. This is similar to the humility of David who repents of sin and perseveres without idol worship and arrogance. We learn that we can not allow the increase of virtues lead to the practice of sin because we know that evil hates when individuals are growing in virtues and prospering similar to Job. This describes being able to distinguish that the growth in virtues are for the worship of GOD Almighty and not for self-worship or idol worship. We learn that when there are increase of virtues, there is still the need to accept constructive criticism describing correction and reproof so that we can keep in the path of eternal salvation worshiping GOD Almighty. We learn that marriages are so that families can instruct children and the youth on the obedience to the commandments so that they do not depart from the faith and develop virtues instead of vices.We learn that evil attempts to say temporary lies so that individuals think that they do not need correction and reproof after a certain age being that Moses received the instruction of the commandments when he was older than eighty years of age, and Abraham and Sarah obeyed GOD Almighty at ninety nine years of age. This describes the importance of humility that prevents the practice of arrogance.
