💡 Devotion: “When Wisdom Leads the Way”
As we journey through Proverbs, we’re reminded over and over: there are only two paths—wisdom or foolishness. We don’t coast through life in neutral. Every choice we make is either building something lasting or tearing something down.
Wisdom is more than knowing right from wrong—it’s applying truth to everyday life. A wise woman builds her home by watching her words, guarding her heart, staying humble, being diligent, and leaning on God. But the foolish woman—often unknowingly—tears down her home with carelessness, anger, pride, or passivity.
The same is true for our spiritual lives. If we despise discipline and correction, we cut ourselves off from growth. If we chase possessions over peace, we’ll feel empty inside.
👣 But when wisdom leads the way, the result is life. Even with little, a heart that fears the Lord will be full of joy, peace, and purpose.
