Day 300 Muddy Waters | Proverbs 25:26-28

Send us Fan MailMuddy Waters26 If the godly give in to the wicked,     it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.27 It’s not good to eat too much honey,     and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.28 A person without self-control     is like a city with broken-down walls.The first proverb tells us to stand up for what’s right when it’s being challenged by evil. If a good person gives in to evil, it’s like a pure spring being stirred up and becoming dirty—their goodness is tainted.Verse 27 is hard to translate, and there might be some words missing. Here’s my take on it—though feel free to disagree. Honey tastes great when eaten in moderation, just like thinking about what’s honorable is good, as long as you don’t get stuck overthinking.Verse 28 can be paraphrased as: If you have no control over your emotions or actions, you leave yourself vulnerable to any and every temptation.Think about this: Have you ever felt overwhelmed by one temptation after another? When this happens, ask God’s Holy Spirit to fill your heart and mind with peace.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
