“Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding. Do not forget, and do not turn aside from the sayings of my mouth.

(Prov. 4:5-8) As a young person listens to the instruction of his father, accepting his discipline, he is going to acquire wisdom. He is going to learn how to put into application in his own life the things that his father has told him. He will not simply let the instruction ‘go in one ear and out the other.’
