"Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right, for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips" (Proverbs 8:6-7).
There is the high road of life as well as the low road of life. The high road is the noble road. A noble life is one that is characterized by high ideals and strong moral traits. Take the opposite of that and you have a life marked by low ideals and weak moral traits. That is the life that is void of wisdom.
Wisdom offers the high road. Wisdom calls us to ascend the heights of noble living. A place where are thoughts are pure and refreshing. The high road is where we can only treat others with dignity, care, concern, and true grace. Wisdom's lips speak the truth about the noble life which is beautiful. We are called to join her on the trek up the mountain of nobility and righteousness.
We have all been wounded on the low road. We have all been stung by the hurtful words of hateful people. Those who live selfishly and foolishly have treated us shamefully, with no care given for our condition, no concern for our point of view. They have not been gracious.
Choose the right road today. When the road forks in front of you, one path ascending and one path descending... ascend. Wisdom is calling us to the high road which is noble and right.
