Don't Forsake Wisdom

Scripture:

Proverbs 4:6  "Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you".

Observation:

Solomon had much to say about wisdom.  In this verse, he tells us not to forsake wisdom because she will protect us.  Walking in wisdom protects us from so many terrible things in our lives.  It also tells us to love wisdom and she will watch over us.

Application:

Many times we do things that are not wise.  We lean on our feelings instead of on true wisdom.  Wise people give their advice and we walk away from it to do what we want to do.  Instead of listening to the wise and doing what they say, we decide to so what feels good at the time.  We must love wisdom.  When we walk in wisdom, we will be protected from our own decisions.  We need to seek wise council as we walk out our lives.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, help me to walk with the wise and to seek out wisdom.  Wisdom will keep us from so many awful things.  Teach me to listen to Your word and to the words of the wise.  Help me to be humble enough to seek out wisdom and listen to it.

Your Son,
Jeff
