Sabbath School Lesson Memory Text: Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil (Proverbs 4:26-27, NKJV). Science has demonstrated that hearing impacts how we walk, and that even our balance is influenced by how well we hear. So, instruction, or education — that is, what we hear — is crucial to how we live. Wisdom is the principal thing, says Proverbs 4:7. Yet no matter how good the instruction is, the student must pay attention. Not without some irony an ancient Egyptian teacher noted that the the ear of the boy is on his back; he listens when he is beaten. (In Egyptian art, the student was often represented with big ears on his back.) It’s not enough just to know about right and wrong; we need to know how to choose right and not wrong. Training in wisdom consists in hearing proper instruction and in following and obeying what we have learned so that we don’t end up walking in the wrong direction.
