Follow The Sayings Of The Wise

"Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.  So that your trust may be in The LORD ..."  Proverbs 22:17-19 (NIV)

The wisest man that ever lived, King Solomon, advised the people to listen to and apply the sayings of the wise.  He said that they should remember his sayings and be prepared to share them with others.  His point was that living by his sayings would keep their trust in The Lord.

Following the advice of wise counselling is always a good thing to do.  This is especially true when the advise is based upon The Word of God.  We should keep the wise saying in The Word of God within our hearts and we should live by them.  The Bible says that we are to be doers of The Word and not just hearers of The Word. (James 1:22)
