Seek wisdom, and learn prudence and sense.

Reading: Proverbs 7-8, Psalm 123, James 3, and Luke 10

Scripture: Proverbs 8:4-5, To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man. O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense.

Thoughts: We are given conflicting information from opposing sides of things every day. Each side claims that they are the ones giving the truth. There are lots of people out there who just pick a side and blindly walk the line. King Solomon working from the great wisdom that God granted him wrote, to seek wisdom, and to learn prudence and sense. When we seek wisdom and have learned or learning prudence and sense, we are less likely to just blindly follow a side but to seek out the true truth. Just like in the political we need to be careful in our spiritual walk, there are those who would deceive us and use “religion” to draw us away. Read the Word of God and let it lead.

Prayer: Lord God, your grace and mercy abound, your love overwhelms and your joy overflows. You are the way the truth and the life, you bring wisdom to this world and provide all things. I ask that you help us to learn prudence and sense that we can better serve you and not be deceived by the truths that have been manipulated or biased.
