Proverbs 4:10-19
A compass is an essential survival tool, but many today do know how to use a compass. We have become comfortable with electronic directions or simply asking someone. Have you ever been lost and in need of directions? When we need directions some of us will ask the first person we see while others of us will hold off in hope that we will recognize something just around the next corner. How often do we do the same in our spiritual life? When we practice the wisdom that God gives it is not just a functional ritual, instead it is something that revolutionizes our function. The operation of our life begins deep below the surface of what can be seen through our life. Wisdom begins by accepting all that God offers. God’s wisdom is useful but it is also valuable for all of life. The father in Proverbs 4 challenges his son to guard his heart and the wisdom that God offers. As we see from today’s scripture passage accepting and following God’s wisdom is not only valuable it is essential because life for all eternity depends on it. God provides a compass for our life. All we need to do is respond to His wise and loving direction. Let God’s wisdom revolutionize your function and direction.
