Path of God
Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted…they take pleasure in doing wrong. Proverbs 2:12-14
Wisdom has been defined as the ‘art of steering.’ As you go through life, you will need to navigate through many roads that require great wisdom in order to avoid damaging yourself or others. Thankfully God has not left us to navigate through tight situations on our own, He has given us His Word to light our path.
Proverbs 2 makes a number of statements regarding wisdom and its importance to our walk with Christ. In the world we live in today this advice is so relevant. We need to pray that God will protect us from all deception. As Christians we need to cling to the eternal truths of God’s word. The Word of God is without error and is a shield to those who trust in Him. We should be careful that we do not corrupt it and adding something extra on to God’s word will distort it and cause confusion.
Wisdom, specifically godly wisdom, will keep you steering along the paths that God has carved out for your life. It will keep your feet ‘on the paths of righteous’ (verse 20). It will keep you walking with those who walk straight.

Prayer for today: Lord, give me wisdom. Help me to steer my life on the straight paths that lead to life. Teach me to always keep focus on You so that I am learning from You and how You want me to life. I pray that You will teach me Your truth and keep me from all traps of the enemy to draw me into deception. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
