Scripture: Proverbs 2:10-15
“Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;” Proverbs 4:6 (NIV)
A Christian that lacks the wisdom and understanding to survive in the world today will constantly be pulled down. We should strive to possess the quality of having good judgment and this can only be possible by the help of the Holy Spirit.
Do not be entrapped by the attractions the world offers such that you can no longer differentiate between right and wrong. God wants us to live a good and comfortable lifes but we must be careful who we relate with, what we listen to and what we say. Do not let your godly character be dampened by conforming to every doctrine that comes your way. Slowly and subtly, giving in to the ways of the world will ultimately corrupt the godly character in you. You cannot be friends with everyone, you cannot be part of every discussion and you cannot be seen at all places. You should endeavor to be careful, avoid bad company and flee from evil practices. Mind the invitations you honour with your presence.
The word of God can make you wise and discreet in your conduct but the key to achieving this is through studying the word, meditation, and prayer. Being in tune with God will open your eyes to discerning between good and evil, giving you understanding that will put you on your guard to watch against any vice that can lead you astray.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to conduct all my affairs with wisdom, understanding and discretion in Jesus name.
FAITH BYTE: The Spirit of God dwells in me therefore, I apply discretion in all my dealings with people
