In fact, the opportunity to obtain some form of Necessary Wisdom is the only true benefit to growing much older.
Or, as it says, in Proverbs Chapter 20:
" The Glory Of Young Men is found in their: Youth, Strength, and Limitless Vitality; while The Splendor Of Old Men is found Within Their Own Gray Head. " - Proverbs 20:29.
" It's Always The Same " - since, Genesis. |
After all, according to Proverbs Chapter 9:
" The Fear Of The Lord is The Beginning Of Wisdom [ or, merely, the starting point in the overall process of actually obtaining it ], and A Knowledge Of The Holy One is Understanding [ and, the inevitable result of digging very deeply into everything ]. " - Proverbs 9:10.
It ( really ) is: " Ironic " - now, isn't it? |
Consequently therefore, in the much grander scheme of things, we are most often ( merely ): " Chained To The Rhythm "... when, all most of us really want to be is quite honestly ( just ): " Safe And Sound "!
In fact, Proverbs Chapter 29 just puts it this way:
" Where There Is No Revelation [ or, true understanding of God ], The People Will Cast Off Restraint [ in now acting however they choose ]; but happy is He Who Keeps The Law [ since, God shall exalt such a man to inevitably rein them all in ].
A Servant will not be corrected by Mere Words [ since, words may be so readily ignored ]; for though he understands [ such important things deep within his own heart ], he will not respond [ because, his own judgment is no longer bounded by reason of restraint ]. " - Proverbs 29:18-19.
