Those Who Are Humble!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are humble. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A person with humility can be said to have an unassuming nature.

The relationship between God and men and women is a topic worthy of endless discussion, but once people understand how almighty and powerful God is and how limited we men and women are, then it is possible to realize God is God and we need to be humble in his presence.

Proverbs 15:33 (ESV) is about instruction in wisdom and how humility comes before honor.

“The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.”

Won’t you put in perspective God’s power, and humbly come before him with praise and adoration?

Do Not Enter the Path of the Wicked!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who do not enter the path of the wicked. In Jesus’ name, amen.

King Solomon has warnings for those who are not wise.

Proverbs 4:10-19 (ESV) is about those who hold on to wisdom and instruction, and, in contrast, those who enter the path of the wicked.

“Hear, my son, and accept my words,
that the years of your life may be many.
I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
When you walk, your step will not be hampered,
and if you run, you will not stumble.
Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;
guard her, for she is your life.
Do not enter the path of the wicked,
and do not walk in the way of the evil.
Avoid it; do not go on it;
turn away from it and pass on.
For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know over what they stumble.”

Do not even think of following the way of the wicked. God can provide a way of escape. Pray. Ask God to make his direction clear.
