Happy Mid-Week Wednesday - this is your Spiritual Wednesday Wonder
= =
God talks about using wisdom to keep you; and this is vital because many times we have the knowledge, we even understand the consequences and potential outcomes that comes with a choice; but we often forget wisdom as the final 3-part step in making sure we make a good decision.
The book of Proverbs says in chapter 3
19The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
21My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
God used wisdom to found the earth and understanding to establish the heavens and tells us not to depart from wisdom but to keep it; it will be life to our soul and grace to our neck. By making wise decisions and using discretion we can walk and our walk will be safe; we can talk and our talk will be sure; our feet will not stumble. When we lie down, we won't be afraid and our sleep will be sweet. Why?
It is because we know we've made good decisions and can rest in them knowing God is guiding us. We can rest knowing we made good decisions at work, in business, with our family, in our eating habits, in our health, with our money, and with our life. You lose sleep when you don't have wisdom because you worry, stress, and in the worry and stress you make bad decisions. We've all been there.
The chapter concludes with a lot of wise saying for us to adhere to; and I always like to mention how growing up as a teenager and still to this day I read a proverb chapter a day; it was like my Boys and Girls Club growing up because it kept me from trouble in the wisdom I received in it.
