Proverbs 13:16 In everything a prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.
It is important to make sure about the things we need to do and when the right time is to do it, it is always wise to check that what we do is correct before we act. Sometimes we respond on information that is invalid and we end up being embarrassed. We may find that this is true of many situations we are in and irrespective of how old we may be. It never does harm to check twice.
Having said that when we are in a hurry we are more inclined to make mistakes and also when are repeating stuff that we have done a thousand times. Somehow or other an error creeps in. It is like baking a cake and finding that we left an ingredient out or sending someone the wrong invoice. The problem is that we are not always able to fix something and the result is that we are just as hurt as the other person because of it.
Wisdom comes with experience, and experience is learnt through trial and error, wise people do not repeat mistakes, they learn from them.
Be encouraged today to think carefully before you act.
Point to ponder: Wisdom is something you cherish.
Question to consider: Do you double check the facts before you act?
