Lent
– Day 15
Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can
do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. Proverbs 4:7
Develop good judgment. You’d think that
good judgment would be one of those things that come as a “gift” not something
that you have to “learn” but Solomon is advising us here to develop good
judgment.
You
have done many good things for me, LORD, just as you promised. I believe in
your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge. Psalm 119:65-66.
God is still the source of good judgment and knowledge—so ask Him to help you
develop good judgment. It is a quality that is valuable to have at work, at
home or in social situations. Good judgment is much like common sense—just one
of those things that helps put wisdom to work in your life—and keeps you out of
trouble. It helps you to make wise choices and good decisions.
My
children, listen when your father corrects you. Pay attention and learn good
judgment, for I am giving you good guidance. Don't turn away from my
instructions. ... My father taught me, "Take my words to heart. Follow my
commands, and you will live.” Proverbs 4:1-2, 4. Old advice…Do What I Tell
You To Do! Same as “follow my commands.” That is very beneficial, sound advice
that we’ve probably all heard—but have we listened? Obedience to one’s father
is the sign of a well-behaved child. Obedience to The Heavenly Father is the
sign of a person who will live forever filled with the Father’s peace, joy and
love. Spread the wealth around. Share our Father’s love.
Prayer
~ Heavenly Father, once again we ask you for Wisdom—it is the wisest thing we
can do. Show us how we can best develop good judgment that we would make good
decisions and live wisely all the days we have left here on earth.
Happy
Birthday, Debbie J.
May
God continue to bless you with creativity beyond measure.
