Understand

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. (Proverbs 8:3)

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6)

Please excuse a brief digression into Proverbs. We learn things from other people, but often what they teach us is not quite right. God commands us to be men and women of understanding: to know the truth and how it fits together (or something like that).
I just realised that my writing style is like the book of Proverbs: [idea]: [repetitiously enlarge on the same idea]. I have been over-using semicolons though: I just looked them up and normally they are supposed to be for contrasting ideas. I need to use colons more often: particularly when I'm repeating and enlarging. I often repeat and enlarge; but I frequently use semicolons in the proper way too.
This similarity to Proverbs may come from the fact that I read a chapter of Proverbs daily for a few years when I was in my last few years at school and was really developing my writing style.
God commands us to become men and women of understanding.
Do you want to know what's right in a situation and what is best? You need wisdom and understanding.
Wisdom is a gift from God; ask and you will receive (Jas 1:5).
Understanding comes from God's word: found in the Bible.
It's right there and you can receive it; go ahead.
