Do You Know People Who Wise In Their Own Eyes!

Do You Know People Who Wise In Their Own Eyes!

Dear Lord, I pray for those who are not wise in their own eyes. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Ever been around a know it all?

This type of person claims to have all the right answers. Although this is not necessarily the case, such a person thinks they have the wisdom to make decisions and tell others what to do.

Proverbs 26:12 (ESV) is about those who think they are wise when their actions prove otherwise.

“Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.”

Have tendencies toward being a know it all?

Stop. Stop being a fool.

Realize there is wisdom in God’s holy and inspired word. Trust the Lord.

Do not be a person who claims to be wise. Instead, be humble in the face of the Lord.

Hasty Words!

Hasty Words!

Dear Lord, I pray for those who think before they speak. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever regret having said something?

Most people can think of a time when they wish they could take back their words.

Once uttered, words convey a message. Sincere apologies may not be able to erase the harm done by a hasty comment.

Proverbs 29:20 (ESV) is about a man whose quick comments get him into trouble.

“Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.”

This proverb is reminiscent of the adage, “Think before you speak.”

Guard your words. Don’t become less than a fool.

Walk in Wisdom!

Walk in Wisdom!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who make an effort to walk in wisdom. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Those who are interested in wilderness survival know how important a compass can be. One thing about using a compass is to trust the compass and not instincts about direction. Mountaineering students are taught to trust the compass because instincts can be wrong.

Proverbs 28:26 (ESV) is about a person who trusts their own mind instead of trusting God.

“Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool,
but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.”

Like the mountaineer who trusts his or her compass, be a person who walks in wisdom trusting God.

Do not rely on your own mind.
