There is much to learn…

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ESV)

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ESV)

Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭5-6‬ ESV)

A wise son hears his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬ ESV)

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬ ESV)

Instructions for life

Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace. (‭Psalm‬ ‭37‬:‭3-11‬ ESV)
