Who is Wise?

Scripture:

Hosea 14:9 "Who is wise, that he may understand these things?  prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein."

Observation:

Hosea tells us that those what are wise and prudent know and understand that the ways of God are right and they walk in them.  God's ways are always right and we must learn to follow His ways above all else.  We must humble ourselves before Him and not transgress His ways.

Application:

We are wise when we understand and know that God is right and we are not.  Our job is to do things God's way, wherein we can expect His blessing and favor.  When we do things God's way, we get God results. When we do things our own way, we can expect human results.  Our job is to find out what pleases God and walk accordingly.  Faith pleases God.

Prayer:

Lord, increase my faith.  Work in and through my life today.  Help me to walk according to Your ways and to do your will at all times. Thank You for the incredible blessings You have blessed me with.  Following You is incredible.  Help me to communicate to others the blessings of following You.  Work through me today.  Heal the sick, minister to the oppressed, and set the captive free in our service this evening.

Your Son,

Jeff
