Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Who do we think we are? All powerful? All knowing? All wise? All Good? We often live that way. Proverbs describes for us different paths we can go down in life. This path leads to destruction, even though there may be some deceiving scenery along the way. Wise living demands we stop long enough to look in the mirror not just at where we've been, but at who we are, then look up and see our Creator, the sovereign Lord, who is all of the above. He is looking down and watching how we travel, where we go, why we go there. He sees what lies ahead around the next bend, over the next hilltop. He wants to guide us, protect us, save us from our own foolishness. Will we say "Okay, here I am- needy, ignorant, foolish, self- reliant, sinful." Or will we keep driving, ignoring His caring call?
