6Leave your simple ways, and live,
and walk in the way of insight.”–Proverbs 9

In the book of Proverbs, you are heeding the call of one of two ‘women’–Lady Wisdom or Madam Folly.

1. There’s something about you that is simple or naive and ought to be left behind.
2. The person that has done this will now live. This suggests that there is something lacking about continuing just as you are.
3. Insight means you are trusting another to direct and to guide.

Those of us who follow Jesus already understand these. But, frankly, every person is a disciple of another. In some way or fashion. Everyone mimics someone.

So what about you needs to stop? What about you needs to start? Who do you trust to guide you? Are they leading you to pursue wisdom or folly?–JMB
