Proverbs 22: 17 teach us to hear wise men words. Those words guide us to respect their words like reverences made before kings. All God`s words we preach are inspired by God and are given us to teach you how to live with God in justice. Inclining your ears means accepting that God is bigger than you and the one who teaches you belongs to Him.

God knows everything, apply your heart, which means your thoughts, refers to have God on our mind all the time. The one who belongs to God, have the thoughts towards clean and good things.

God`s word has to be appreciated because it brings pleasure and makes us feel well. That`s why devil tries to make us not read the Bible, therefore it stays in our heart and does good to us. Through Salomon, God guides us to rely on Him and not on our strength, our intelligence, wealth, skill, or friends. The most important moment of the service is the word because it brings wonderful conditions on us. The world has a lot of vain conditions to offer, which seem good, but they are temporary and many times, they aren`t good at all, just seem. Money can be a blessing or curse. God made everything. If I love God, everything contributes to my joy, but when I get away from Him, the same things contribute to my evil condition. Knowledge provides us with answer for everything. Some people have their answers at the tip of their tongue, but they don`t ever have good answers, because it depends on the knowledge of God. Most of people have lack of understanding. They don`t know how to lead a good talk, and they harvest the fruit of their mistakes. Many people exploit poorer ones; they take advantage of their situation for their own benefits; it`s to worsen the condition of those who are already feeling bad. God doesn`t feel happy at the ones who oppress the afflicted ones; who robs poor people; take advantage of those who already feel bad. Those who do it, do injustice, cruelty, and they are used by devil. Never take advantage of your neighbor for your own profit God promises to protect those who are robbed and take the life out of those who rob their items, take advantage of others. God teaches us what we have to do and what we don`t have to do. If you meet someone in need, help her instead of taking advantage of her. Devil takes advantages of anguishing moments, that`s why in those moments, we have to seek God, rely on Him and explain our problems to the Lord and not to other people because the others may be tempted by our condition to take advantage or gossip about our lives. You can`t be linked to nervous people and sinners otherwise you will become like them. You and I get along with this kind of people everyday, the ones who talk bad things about others, they are evil, but to be linked to them, we shouldn`t. We have to choose our friends very well. God also tells us not to become a warrantor for anyone because we risk losing our assets because of others’ debts because a warrantor takes over others’ debts. There are so many people loosing their wealth due to debts of others. If you can help under your condition, that`s fine, but never take debts of others over. The Bible also says that the expert will always be honored and put before the kings. That means that if the work is well done, rich and influential people will call you and your work will be recognized. You will be considered good at what you do. Do you want to thrive? Be good at what you do. There`s no crisis for experts. This is the advice that God gives us. Apply them and you will succeed in everything you do.
