refer : Ps38: 1-2
God disciplines us when we refuse to receive the GRACE and MERCY He has been offering to us. It is ourselves, who choose to walk on the hard way instead of the easy way.
refer : Ps38:3
When God purnishes, you might suffer, and you might regret because He is not with you!
so, start FEAR the LORD your GOD!
Ps 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
wisdom of the world and wisdom of the Lord is different. You might be the best of all among your friends, but you cant say that you will be the best in the universe. The comparing between the world will never end. However the wisdom of the Lord is unique in every single one, so the Lord knows the most and our highest of highest is God, and the wisdom of God comes with Peace, Joy, and Love!
