8-28-2022 Devotion: Choose Wisely

 Proverbs 31: 30: "Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." Verses 10-29 concentrate on practical wisdom. Now the basis of all true wisdom is the focus. The Book of Proverbs ends as it begins: observation of the created order can provide some wisdom and knowledge of God, but only the self-revelation of the Creator enables us to know and appreciate the God-centered meaning of reality. True wisdom is seen as the life lived in wholehearted obedience to God’s revelation in His Word, which is “the fear of the Lord”. This trust is the foundation and continuing path of wisdom as it brings us to final perfection in Christ. There is nothing complex in understanding wisdom. You live your life according to the Word of God in obedience to Godly principles. It is when people disregard the Bible and choose for themselves based on their best judgment and intellect. I could cite example after after example with both good and horrific results. Those that follow the LORD will be blessed regardless of their circumstances. Those that refuse to follow the LORD will be miserable regardless of how good their circumstances are. Choose wisely.
