Proverbs 3:5-6 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Wisdom from God

If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.

The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.

Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.

The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we will live in accordance with His will. Proverbs 3:6 says that when we submit to God’s wisdom in all our ways, He will direct and guide us. And thankfully, God has given us Scripture to show us what His will really looks like. 

That’s why it’s important to read God’s Word daily and get familiar with all that He says—so that in every area of life, we can trust Him to direct our paths.

Take some time today to pray about the direction of your life. If there are situations you’re unsure about, ask God to give you wisdom. Allow Him to direct your paths. Get in the habit of reading His Word, so that you have His wisdom as you go through life.

James 1:19 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Your Response Matters

When we’re in difficult situations, it isn’t always easy to stay calm or hold our tongues for very long.

But in James 1:19, we hear how we should respond…

Be quick to listen.
Be slow to speak.
Be slow to anger. 

The world is the opposite:

Be slow to hear what others have to say.
Be quick to voice your own opinions.
Be quick to accuse, argue, and fight.

Why is it so important to James that Christ's followers don’t behave like this? Because “human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” (James 1:20)

So what does produce the right kind of living that God desires? 

The Word of God. 

James told his friends to “get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” (James 1:21)

He said that if they have the Word of God in them, and if they are obeying it, they will be blessed. (James 1:25)

James is clear that if we are to be followers of God, we must know God’s word and obey ...

“And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.”
