THE PATH OF WISDOM

READ:

In you, O LORD, I hope; You will hear,O Lord my God.
-Psalm 38:15

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 1-2
Galatians 5

Albert Einstein was heard to say, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Sadly, it does seem that far too often there is no limit to the foolishness we get ourselves into - or the damage we create by our foolishness and the choices it fosters.
It was in such a season of regret that David poured out his struggle and complaint to God in Psalm 38. As he recounted his own failing, as well as the painful consequences he was enduring because of those failings, the shepherd king made an insightful comment: My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness(v.5). Although the psalmist does not give us the detail of those choices or of his worsening wounds, one things is clear - David recognised his own foolishness as their root cause.
The answer for such destructive foolishness is to embrace the wisdom of God Proverb 9:10 reminds us "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Only by allowing God to transform us can we overcome the foolish decisions that cause so much trouble. With His loving guidance, we can follow the pathway of godly wisdom - Bill Crowder
Loving father, forgive me for the seemingly limitless capacity I have to be foolish. Teach me in Your wisdom so that my life might be pleasing to You and a blessing to others around me.

God's wisdom is given to those who humbly ask Him for it.

JESUS IN YOUR BOAT

No doubt, life in a sense is like the sea. A characteristic of the sea is that storms of varying degrees arise, putting the lives of those sailing on it in jeopardy of being drowned. In Jesus' Name, the storms of life will not be able to drown you, your family and your business. While literal storms are natural...More
