TEXT: Proverbs 3:1-26(NKJV)
Daily Fountain Devotional 28 August 2022 MESSAGE
Solomon continued in his proverbial teachings by emphasising on the benefits of wisdom. Several benefits of wisdom are explained in this chapter:
(1) Wisdom makes one to obey God and attracts longevity and peace of mind (vv. 1-2).
(2) Wisdom teaches one to be girded with mercy and truth and in return gives favour and high esteem before God and man (vv. 3-4).
(3) Wisdom also teaches one to trust in God and fear Him and by so doing, one will be properly guided by God and have rest of mind (vv. 5-8). Check some other benefits of Godly wisdom in verses 9&10. Above all these benefits is protection (vv. 24-26).
The expectation of every parent is that their children will be wise. So, God expects us to be well-grounded in wisdom through His words (vv. 1, 21). Christians should know that it is by wisdom God founded the earth and established the heavens by understanding (v.19).
We should also know that wisdom teaches us to accept God’s chastisement as a way of reconciliation to Him. This is clearly expressed in the collect for this day (Trinity XI) that says …help us to proclaim the good news of your love that all who hear it may be reconciled to You…. So, by wisdom, God chastises us so that we would not fall into the hands of the wicked (v.26)
PRAYER: O Lord, let your wisdom continually be my guide, that I may enjoy your divine protection always in the name of Jesus. Amen.
