God's route of wisdom.



Proverbs 2:6–8

For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

I've recently started driving a longer route near my house. Why? The shorter route is a mess of potholes.

There are two paths for every person — the path of Godly wisdom... and what seems "right." God promises to guide your steps when you walk in line with his word.

Take the path he lays out. It's the one filled with his mercy and love. It's the one he blesses with his faithfulness.

His wisdom guides.

Where in your life right now are you taking the "shorter route" — the path that seems easier or more obvious — instead of the one God's word actually lays out?

1 Kings 3 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” ... Solomon answered...

1 Tim. 6:17–19 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
