Abstract:
Obedience to God’s instructions is the key of the teachings of the book of Proverbs. A wise
person is one who upholds the instructions and teachings of his teacher and father, and of
course, God’s instructions. This article looks at the book of Proverbs from the perspective that
wisdom is the ability of a person to conduct their life in the best conceivable way and to the
best result. The article informs that healing connotes ‘restore’, ‘prolongation of life’ and
‘soundness’. It shows that obedience is listen to, heed by acting upon, or putting into practice
what has been said. The article, therefore, demonstrates that obedience to instructions is healing
wisdom to the individual. In other words, when one obeys instructions, the person gains
wisdom that brings healing and good health.
