6 Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence
or stand in the place of the great,
7 for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.
(Proverbs 25)
We've all heard these words before, in a more general statement. It was Christ Himself Who applied these wise words to the presumptive Pharisees who thought they deserved God's approval and blessing. Wisdom: taking God's truths to apply to life. That's what we need. Sometimes, as we read the Proverbs, and a lot if Scripture in fact, we wonder what in the world it has to do with us. Wisdom is when the Spirit of God works with the Word of God to tell us "OH! This is when and how it all makes sense." May we study today to be wise tomorrow and every day.
