Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 18. I will then key in on verse 15 - The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. Friends, I looked up the definition of the word - prudent. It is an adjective (a way of acting) - it says acting with or showing care for the future; marked by wisdom or judiciousness; cautious, discreet; thrifty, frugal. All of these have positive connotations, meaning it is a good thing to be prudent. On today's podcast we will continue our study on the Book of Job. We will be taking a look at Chapter #34 today. In verses 2-15 Elihu addresses Job's 3 friends and in verses 16-33 Elihu addresses Job directly. By the end of this lesson there are four things I would like for you to consider:

1. We need to have discernment.

2. Should one who hates justice govern?

3. God does not show partiality (see James 2: verses 1-13)

4. God hears the cry of those that reach out to Him

Call to Action - Ask yourself if you are discerning about what you hear (or allow yourself to listen to?)
