Scripture
“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.”
–Proverbs 3:7
Devotion
True wisdom, the kind that guides our daily decisions and actions, comes from recognizing our dependence on God. We are nothing without our Creator and so easily led astray when we take our eyes off Him. When we rely on our understanding and fulfill the desires of our flesh, we lose everything, as evidenced by the evil around us. Let us fear the Lord and turn away from our fleshly desires and evil, trusting God’s wisdom to guide us instead.
How do you keep your eyes on the Lord and shun evil (sinful ways) in your day-to-day life?
Prayer
Lord, we acknowledge our need for Your wisdom. Help us to shun evil and to trust in Your guidance. Teach us to rely on Your understanding and not our own. Let your Spirit fall fresh on us daily as we rise in the morning by your grace and mercy. Let us always look to the hills from which comes our help, knowing that all of our help comes from you, our Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, we humbly pray, Amen.
You are blessed.
