       So we understand that, ““Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools” (Proverbs 14:33, ESV). If we fill our minds full of God’s Word, and teachings from God’s Word, we can make ourselves wise. Indeed, it is true that wisdom is something that can be learned. It’s not that there is a wise person and a foolish person by blood. A person wasn’t born that way. A person becomes wise from careful study of the Bible. So, if we know God’s thoughts, we can improve our own thoughts. God’s Word is the filter over our mind that allows us to choose carefully what we are thinking about. We know what God thinks is good, and what he thinks is evil. And we can align our thoughts accordingly so that they are pleasing and acceptable to him. And it is good for us because it will cause us to enjoy our lives more, and to feel happier and have a better time. We won’t constantly be downtrodden with guilt and shame because we won’t be thinking about things that cause those types of feelings.
