The great thing is that we all do stupid things, which means we are not in this alone. These things may not appear so blatant and dumb, but often we base our most important life decisions on ridiculous logic, and are forced to live a majority of our lives with the consequences of dumb and dumber chices. (And yes, I am speaking from experience.)
Proverbs is written by Davids son Solomon, when he was getting ready to assume the throne as King of Israel, God made him a interesting offer: Anything you want it is yours. Wow, can you imagine all the things that would go through your mind. A Ferrari, 10 Million bucks, good looks, fame, fortune... you know the drill. Solomon however chooses to ask for God's wisdom to invade his life, and Gods makes good on his promise (as he always does) and made him the smartest wisest man to ever live.
The next couple of weeks I am going to be trying to personally learn from the wisdom of Solomon, and how to put this to practice in my life.
It starts Today, so I am going to get going and try to be wise in all my decisions and learn from Gods word how that can happen and how I can take advantage of what God offers when it comes to being smart.
Today the best thing I can do to start being wise and not dumb (or dumber) is to trust
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
and he will make your paths straight.
Wisdom starts with trust, and believing that God's way is actually better than mine. Not just saying it living it.
Much more to come...
