Proverbs 14:6b, The Greatest Deliverance
There is a great difference between the existence of Truth, and our perception of it. Wisdom helps us to know this difference, and modesty and humility are the true marks of it. But knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. The word understand also means the discerning one, the intelligent one. Richard Sibbes remarked, “Wisdom is easy to him that will understand.” This is the wisdom that “opens the eyes both to the glories of heaven and to the hollowness of earth” (Motyer). The scorner looks only to things down under the sun. The gaze of the understanding is Up Yonder to the Son of Righteousness.
