Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
During these increasingly difficult last days of earth’s history, God desires that His people exercise a good understanding and prudence in spiritual, as well as temporal matters. As light bearers, Christians are to set a good example in every aspect of life, for this is how God’s kingdom is magnified, and multiplied in the earth.
That lopsided form of Christianity, where only the spiritual is emphasized while the temporal aspects lag way behind does damage to one’s testimony of God’ grace upon the heart, because the perspective we see in the Bible presents a balanced approach to life, blending the spiritual with the temporal.
The abundant life which Christ came to give us is an all-inclusive package, which when applied, practiced and adopted by the Christian, would bring maturity, balance, and stability, so that persons can walk with a steady and even tread which in turn will ultimately make manifest the wisdom and the discretion that is born of God.
Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
