Good Morning “Simple Way Leavers.” Today we are in Proverbs 9.
“Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.””
Proverbs 9:6 NIV
Today we meet folly. Here we are presented with two choices… “Lady Wisdom” (The Wisdom of God) offers life, or “Folly” - makes lots of promises but ends in death. Seems like a no brainer. It is, especially when we understand and have a proper fear of The Lord.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.”
Proverbs 9:10-11 NIV
Understand The God of ALL creation, The Sustainer of ALL we know, Our Provider, Protector and King is also Holy, Righteous and Just. He is not only bunnies and rainbows. This is paramount to grasping our own depravity and His glorious expectation for us to be more than we are. His best for us includes aspiring to more than folly’s (the world’s) empty offerings.
I do not know any loving parents who desire emptiness for their children. As parents we stand frustrated and willing to discipline when we our kids make empty destructive choices. Is our Loving Heavenly Father somehow different? NO! In fact, in His perfection He is even more so. He is perfectly clear on the best for us, makes it known to us and offers it to us through His Word.
Why would anyone choose anything other than the best that God has to offer? That’s a great question, why do we?
Love you all! Dig in!
