MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic: Fools Reject Wisdom
Text: Proverbs 1:7 – 9
It is
a fool that says there is no God and rejects wisdom. The best thing we can do
for ourselves is to acquire wisdom. In this age of information technology,
knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scarce. Wisdom means far more than simply
knowing a lot. It is a basic attitude that affects every aspect of life. The
foundation of knowledge is to fear the Lord; to honour and respect God, to live
in awe of His power, and to obey His Word.
Fools
are persons who have no true wisdom, who follow their own devices, without
regard to reason, or reverence for God. Anyone who truly wants to be wise must
begin by devoting himself/herself to God's service and making His word the rule
of his/her life.
Many
reject wisdom directly and indirectly today. Some reject wisdom by their
refusal to believe in God and study His word. Many reject wisdom when they
refuse to heed to the teaching from the scriptures. It is important to remind ourselves
about the essence of the scriptures and benefits derivable from them as in 2
Timothy 3:15 and 16.
As
true Christians we should have implicit faith in God which should be the
controlling principle for our understanding of the world, our attitudes, and
our actions. Trust in God, He will make you truly wise.
Food for Thought: Psalm 53:1
Memory verse: Proverbs 1:7
Prayer: God,
help me not to reject wisdom by refusing to accept the truth in your word.
