Ecclesiastes 5:2-4 - Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words. When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
Proverbs 1:7,20-22 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline…Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech: "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
Application:
· Can I learn? Do I refuse to learn?
· Do I exercise discretion?
· Do I submit to God and His commands? Or, do I hate knowledge, hate correction, am I quarrelsome, angry, complacent, do I trust in myself?
