Day 83 Wisdom Has Consequences | Proverbs 8:34-36

Send us Fan MailWisdom Has Consequences34 Joyful are those who listen to me,     watching for me daily at my gates,     waiting for me outside my home!35 For whoever finds me finds life     and receives favor from the Lord.36 But those who miss me injure themselves.     All who hate me love death.”Verses 34-35If a man listens to wisdom, then he will benefit. This man does not just listen to one lesson, and then walk away. Every day, he wants more wisdom. He is like a child who is waiting at his mother’s door. The child waits for mother to wake, so that she will teach him! We should always want to learn more wisdom. God will be kind to us, if we do this.Verse 36If a man refuses wisdom, then he will suffer. His punishment is severe. A man who hates wisdom will die.In Proverbs, Wisdom points out that those who followGod's Wisdom and Understanding find life and those whoreject God’s rules for creation find death instead.In Romans 6. Paul concluded the same thing:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift ofGod is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.In Joshua 24, Joshua gives the Hebrew people a choice:15If it seems evil to you to serve God, choosetoday whom you will serve, … but as for me and myhouse, we will serve God.”We are all encourage to think carefully and choosewisely.Think about this: Before these devotions did you realizethat all the laws, statutes, commandments, instructions and rulesare in the Bible not to punish us, but to help us live abundantlives to the fullest?If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
