WHO IS THE WISE MAN?

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;
and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.”
Proverbs 1:5

Who does our text consider to be the wise man? Certainly not the intellectual genius of the world! We read in I Corinthians 1:19-20, “For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?”
Verse five of Proverbs one gives us our clue as to who the truly wise are. First we are told that he is a man who “WILL HEAR.” So now we can identify him specifically, for in John’s Gospel chapter eight verse forty-seven, Christ Jesus said, “He that is of God HEARETH God’s words.” The truly wise man is the man that is ‘BORN OF GOD.’
Notice the text follows with “…and will increase learning,” showing that in the second place, the man who is truly acquainted with God by grace will ‘GROW IN GRACE’ II Peter 3:18, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever amen.” This is also substantiated in Titus 2:11-12, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” We would certainly have to conclude from these verses before us that there is progress in the soul of the Christian, which in turn manifests itself outwardly by good works. If no progress of the soul, then undoubtedly the soul has never received the life of God.
In the third place the truly wise man is the man of ‘UNDERSTANDING,’ or what is termed elsewhere in holy scripture as ‘SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT.’ Only the child of grace has this spiritual gift. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man” (I Corinthians 2:14-15).
Fourthly the text describes the wise man by saying that he is a man that ‘ATTAINS UNTO WISE COUNSEL.’ Blessed is the man whose counselor is the Lord. We’re taught in scripture that He (the Lord) is a ‘WONDERFUL COUNSELOR.’
