Topic : Preservative Wisdom.
Memory Verse : Proverbs 4:5. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.
Bible Reading :Proverbs 4:6-8 NIV. Key Verse : v6.
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
Wisdom is a very important tool that helps us to take rightful and informed decisions that better our lives. Here we are looking at the wisdom of God that comes from above that are hidden in his word or instructions, which he offers to us freely as our father. These instructions are products of love to his children, so that we can avoid costly or destructive mistakes. They are. keys to a successful earthly life when heeded. Men who ignore the instructions of the Lord suffer the consequences just like the child who thinks he doesn’t need to obey the father who knows it better. ”Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.” Proverbs 4:1-4.
It’s good to note here that no man can become his or her best in life without keying into the instructions God in whatever he /she does. The wisdom of men therefore can be compared to that of a child who always see things from the wrong perspective. Give the child slippers or shoes to wear without helping him /her, you will observe that the child will always wear it the wrong way. You will discover in life that those things that cause harm, deformity, death and destruction will always appeal to the child. The child from birth is configured by nature to depend on the parents for guidance in safety. If he/she is left on his own, he will destroy him/herself because of wrong judgment and decisions. In like manner, the wisdom of men outside God is always childish, harmful and destructive. “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:6-7. KJV.
“Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.” Proverbs 4:10-15 KJV. Proverbs 4 is loaded with words of wisdom that will preserve any man that heeds them. We can’t just touch all here now. But let’s take home the fact that the life we live and things we do daily are seeds that we must reap soon in the future. Whatever you don’t want to harvest, you must not sow therefore into the lives of others.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for your instructions that is able to make me wise. Help me to always take time to discover these instructions of yours meant for my well being as given in your word and by your Spirit. Help me to always obey you, so that I can have a great future in you in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : 1 Samuel 8:6-22.
