If You Become Wise,
You Will Be The One To Benefit.
If You Scorn Wisdom, You Will Be The One To Suffer.
Proverbs 9
12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Observation
Stupid,
stupid, stupid, dumb, dumb, and dumber describes all of us when we decide to
ignore what God says in His Word.
The
Bible is where we find Wisdom.
The
Bible is where we have the opportunity to know the mind of God. It is not a
book of helpful hints.
It
is where we encounter the very heart of God.
God
created us. He and only He knows best how we should live this life. What God
tells us in His Word to do and what not to do is all for our benefit, for our
good because He loves us.
You
and I are stupid fools to ignore, to openly defy God’s Word and continue to
sin.
So
what is going to be our choice today?
In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short. Proverbs 24:14
“… Asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.” Ephesians 1:17
Application
I
am praying that I will seek wisdom today? How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that I am a sinner. I know that sin is pleasurable and that is
why I am tempted to sin. I also know that every sin that I have committed has
always brought consequences that were not pleasurable. So I pray for wisdom to
live out this day in a way that pleases You. Keep me away from stupid sins.
Sins that I know will destroy and hurt me and my family and all of those around
me. Give me strength to not give in to temptation. I know that You always
provide a way of escape whenever I am tempted to sin. I know that every time
that I am tempted that I have a choice. Give me the wisdom and understanding to
live my life in a way that pleases You.
