Proverbs 2:10-20

“So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.”

Having the wisdom of the LORD means two things, right believing and right living. Wisdom is a combination of believing what is true and doing what is right in the LORD. Wisdom is proven by our right actions, careful decisions in crucial times, and godly response in times of temptation and failure.

When we have God’s wisdom, it brings peace to our souls for we know God is with us. We are guided by the truths we embrace. It’s like a beacon at midnight. It saves us from doing evil and crooked things. It gives us the confidence to walk upright without flinching before the evildoers.

What else does wisdom do to us?

In life, we always make choices. Sometimes we fail and succeed, and it is an unending journey. But with wisdom bestowed from God in us, we can discern better (not perfectly) which and what type of people we should choose and be with.

It guides us on whom to marry, whom to avoid, and how to do it righteously. With God’s guidance, we can see and understand what will happen and the possible benefits or dangers of what we will do. We know what to prioritize and what to set aside, what to keep and what to let go in life.

Wonderful is it not?

Through God’s wisdom, we can walk righteously because we have the knowledge and understanding of what life is all about and that is to know, serve, and worship God in the name of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, for His glory forever. Amen.

Do you have wisdom? Does your way of life reflect the mind, and heart of God?

What is your decision? Come to the Lord and pray for God’s guidance in Jesus’ name.
