Passage: Proverbs 8:5-6

5. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding.

6. Listen, for I [Wisdom] have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

Question

According to verse 5 above, who's eligible to gain prudence and understanding?

 

Practical help

Wisdom isn't just for folks who are born smart. Fools can acquire it as well.

By the same token, moral victory isn't only for people who are naturally virtuous. Long-term smut strugglers can attain it simply by paying attention to wisdom.

This is good news for porn viewers whose self-image is as low as it can get. No matter how defeated and foolish you feel, wisdom and victory are yours if you listen for what's worthy and right (verse 6).

So hold your chin up. Tune your ear to wisdom. No matter how extensive your porn experience, you can steer clear of smut, starting now. (Click here to look over prior three-minute studies for specific wisdom tips.)
