Learn what I teach you, my child, and never forget what I tell you to do. Listen to what is wise and try to understand it. Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight. Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure. If you do, you will know what it means to fear the LORD and you will succeed in learning about God. It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from him come knowledge and understanding. He provides help and protection for those who are righteous and honest. He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him. If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair. You will know what you should do. You will become wise, and your knowledge will give you pleasure. Your insight and understanding will protect you and prevent you from doing the wrong thing. They will keep you away from people who stir up trouble by what they say — those who have abandoned a righteous life to live in the darkness of sin, those who find pleasure in doing wrong and who enjoy senseless evil, unreliable people who cannot be trusted.

Let God shape His framework upon the borders of your heart. Let God give you wisdom, insight, and direction for the next season. Let God direct your course. Let God direct your steps in this season and in every season of life.
We live in a time where the church speaks the same language, uses the same jargon, and spouts the same perspectives as a world in darkness. The evangelical church has often been willing to reevaluate what it has long believed in response to the world’s social consciousness and moral outrage; yet the world has proven it has no conscience nor respect for what is genuinely moral according to Scripture.
