Proverbs 16:20-22

Proverbs 16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
 
This begins by telling us that if we deal honestly in the things we do and say we will experience the good that comes from being thsi way. We also know that because we belong to God and trust in Him we can be happy every day. When we have Godly wisdom people recognize it and have respect for you because of the decisions you have made.It is also easier for someone to listen to a person that speaks nice things and they will learn more from someone like that. The “sweetness of the lips” reflect intelligence, judiciousness and discernment in speech referring to a great teacher of the wise. As this scripture continues we see that as the word tells to hide His word in our heart gives us understanding to know that when we need it it will come forth. It will be just like a well that we continually draw water from over and over the word will continually come to us .A fool has no stored knowledge. He has no well to draw from. Let us continue to study the word of God so we can face any situation comes before us in our day.
