Unlike those who hate godly counsel, we cultivate love for God's ways, including his moral standards. We can strengthen that love by comparing the results of obedience with those of disobedience. Observe the kinds of problems people bring on themselves because they foolishly reject Jehovah's wise counsel. Then consider how much better your life is because you obey God. - PSALM 32:8, 10.
Jehovah makes wisdom available to all, but he does not force anyone to accept it. He does, however, describe the results that come to those who do not listen to wisdom. (Proverbs 1:29-32) Those who choose not to obey Jehovah will "bear the consequences of their way." In time, their lifestyle will bring them nothing but distress, trouble, and eventual destruction. On the other hand, those who listen to Jehovah's wise counsel and apply what it says are promised : "The one listening to me will dwell in security and be undisturbed by the dread of calamity." - PROVERBS 1:33.
