Proverbs 19:2, 20
It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way...Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.
Read the instructions...words that few men ever heed. Give a man a complex construction problem and he is ready to have at it. So it is with the person that is gun-ho and excited about a project and commits before having true knowledge of the endeavor. We are called to listen to advice and accept instruction. When we move too quickly, we miss the mark. We need to change our decision making process. We need to seek out and accept advice to get more perspectives before we commit to something.
Proverbs 19:3
A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
How is it that when we make a mistake, we blame God for the consequences of our actions?
Proverbs 19:11
A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
The wise seem to know when to speak and when to refrain from speaking. They know which offense to make a big deal over and which to let go.
