The Benefits of Wisdom: Preservation and Safekeeping

The Benefits of Wisdom: Preservation and Safekeeping

When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you. – Proverbs 2:10-11

The benefit of wisdom we will consider today is preservation. From our reference passage, wisdom tends to have knowledge, discretion, and understanding for company. These are ever-present allies of wisdom, and together, they perform various functions, including preservation and safekeeping.

Today, we shall discuss the preservation advantages of wisdom. In an increasingly polluted world, both in literal and metaphorical terms, it takes a lot of effort to remain pure, uncontaminated and unbent. Luckily, the Bible now offers us a secret to achieve this: wisdom.

Wisdom is needed to maintain one’s sanity in an insane world. It is also essential to maintaining purity of heart, attitudes, and actions. Wisdom will help one endowed with it to make the right choice and decision, as well as take the right step and move. Wisdom will help one endowed with it to choose and maintain the right company to remain undefiled and unpolluted.

Even when the wise person falls into error, as we all do from time to time, wisdom will be a shield to keep the wise one away from becoming endangered and harmed by providing the appropriate resources to retrace one’s way back to the path of uprightness or a safe zone. It is one thing to make a mistake and another thing to live in error. Mistakes are inevitable parts of living. We all make our fair share of them. However, living in error is another proposition, as it suggests that the person living in error has made a choice to defy sound judgment and persist in his or her ways. Such an individual may not enjoy the protection of wisdom.

But for those with whom wisdom resides, they are preserved from corruption. And even when they go astray, wisdom is able to keep them from humiliation, ruination and damnation if they resource to it and follow its dictates.
