~ Ephesians 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.
~ Acts 22:9 Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.
~ Proverbs 19:20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.
~ James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach.
