A true son of wisdom lives in obedience to wisdom. How do you navigate a world without God, but by wisdom that comes from God?

Wisdom pays the price to acquire wisdom. The only way to navigate a world without God is with wisdom that transcends the world. Keeping the Word of Christ in us at all times is true wisdom. We have to be humble enough to accept that we do not have the wisdom we need.

Wisdom helps us to choose between paths. When we refuse to accept the straight path that God has given us in His Word, we stumble. God's Word helps us to identify the way of spiritual failure: the way that is not the way of Christ. There is no middle way.

Wisdom watches over the heart, that its desires are in spiritual check.
