( Common Sense @ 11:03 AM )

Common sense is not common. In a society that has grown increasingly litigious, we are inundated with warnings on products, mostly because some people lack common sense.
On a hair dryer: do not use while you are sleeping
On an iron: do not iron clothes on body
On a chainsaw: do not attempt to stop chain with your mind
Common sense can be learned from experience or the teaching we receive from those we trust. But God's Word is the best source of all to develop discernment and good judgement.
Three words echo throughout the book of Proverbs: wisdom, knowledge and understanding. God has packed this book with common sense.
Proverbs 11:12 advises restraint: "A man of understanding holds his peace."
Proverbs 17:27 warns: "He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit."
Proverbs 20:13 is practical: "Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty."
To get more common sense, consult God's Word - the source of wisdom- daily.
Knowledge without common sense is folly.
