To Know God’s Ways

Scripture Proverbs 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, But the folly of fools is deceit.

Observation: Our wisdom comes from the Bible. God has prepared his word for us to understand and obey, but we have a choice, do we take the time to understand what He is telling us or do we use or time to do what we desire to do? It takes some discipline to make time to sit down, read and meditate on God’s word, but the peace and joy we seek are in the pages of the bible. Not to take the time will lead to a life of emptiness.

Application: I read each morning, but I’m not taking enough time to understand what I’m reading. I need to be more diligent in the time I spend with my Lord. He deserves all I have and yet I give Him so little, I need to offer myself as a living sacrifice to be holy and pleasing to Him.

Prayer: My Lord please fill me with the Holy Spirit and fill my mind with understanding of your commands. Help me live a life that will honor you. I know I can’t do it alone.
