WISDOM DELIVERS YOU FROM PAIN
(Proverbs 2:2 NLT).
Wisdom will open doors for success, but it will also help you avoid unnecessary pain. Being wise means to fear God and to obey His commandments. Many times, people suffer in life because they turn to the left or to the right, which diverts them from God’s plans for their lives.
Let’s view the following benefits that wisdom brings:
1. It delivers you from making bad decisions.
Perhaps, you have gotten yourself into many problems due to bad decisions in your emotional, family, financial or vocational life. Thus, the Bible says that wisdom has the power to keep us from the consequences that bad decisions bring.
2. It delivers you from evil people.
The Heavenly Father gives you wisdom through the Bible so you can learn to choose your friends and connect with people of faith that will add value to your life.
The Word of God says:
3. It delivers you from sexual sin and its shameful consequences.
Sometimes people think God is punishing them for their sins, but they are only experiencing the consequences. Wisdom will open your eyes to help you avoid falling into the enemy’s traps.
You can receive wisdom when you read the Word and when you pray, but you can also receive wisdom when you stay close to your mentor and obey their direction for your life. In the world, the closest thing we have from God is our spiritual leader.
Think about it:
Where does true wisdom come from? How can you obtain it?
