The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding.

Proverbs 21:16 "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead"

This is a Spiritual understanding, understanding the Words of God that Jesus taught us. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. (Mateo 7:24-25)

Our solid foundation is understanding the Words of God which is the rock of our salvation, what the Lord say if we didn't practice it.

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. (Mateo 7:26-27)

If we understand the Words of God, we will follow Him but If not and we live out of the way of His understanding we are like a fools and remain in the congregation of the dead, dead in faith.

Here is king Solomon Advice, "My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God". (Proverbs 2:1-5)

The Glory and Beauty.

Proverbs 20:29 "The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head"

Strength has a lot of meaning, literally, as a young man, they can do what the old man can’t do because of this strength, vigourgeous, energetic, some young turn their face to worldly things, that’s why the Teacher remind them to remember God "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them” before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint; when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets. Remember him before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it". (Ec 12:1-7).  Men lose their ability to perform, and the driving desire to perform some physical activity, their glory faded.

However, old men begin acquiring something in their 30’s that young men can hardly understand "wisdom". It is a combination of mental and emotional maturity, experience, and accumulated instruction. Though declining in strength and stamina, older men grow in knowledge and understanding until the very late years of life and it will see in their gray hair "a Crown of Glory"

Helping the Needy.

Proverbs 28:27 "He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse."

Helping the needy brings blessing, if you want to be prosper and be protected, then give to the poor. You will not lose giving to the poor. You will gain!  Do not count, because God operates in mysterious way. He will certainly repay what you give Bible says: He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done. (Pr 19:17)

The LORD God gave financially and economically in the world. His words are true "The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it." (Pr 10:22)

The unbeliever can't see or measure God work, so they reject the fact instead of giving the poor they rejected them, But for believers can then easily have the edge financially and spiritually over them "It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them." (Ec 7:18).

In all thy ways acknowledge God.

"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:6

We will face difficult dilemmas, every day of our life. But as a Christian we should not worry, thus, if we humble ourselves before God and trust Him on every subject. Don’t be like Proud, men are naturally proud to admit their ignorance, they believe they can figure out a workable solution by themselves.

We can find the right path for life’s complications, if we acknowledge the LORD GOD in all our ways. Acknowledging the LORD GOD is admitting He is infinitely wise, He has perfectly addressed every subject, and we should obey Him. We would have only one path at every decision, if we did not create other options by consulting our foolish heart or the foolish hearts of others. We should pray for a single heart that acknowledges God only.
