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.
