I read Proverbs 22:3 today, “A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.”
Why do some people seem to have so much of life figured out, while others continue on the same path towards mediocrity and destruction? Why does it seem like the craziest things CONTINUALLY happen to some of the same people over and over again?
I think it comes down to the verse above. The Message translates it like this…”A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks; a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.” That, unfortunately sounds like many people I know…CLOBBERED in their finances, in their marriage, in their parenthood, in life.
Thankfully God provides hope for those of us continually being clobbered by the consequences of our decisions. James 1:5 tells us, “If ANY of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who GIVES GENEROUSLY TO ALL without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” We live in a generation that lacks wisdom, and many suffer the consequences over and over. It’s time to change all that. It’s time to start making wise choices. It’s time to stop being clobbered over the head. It’s time to plug into THE power source!
If you feel like you are constantly being clobbered over the head, would you commit to opening Gods Word every day for the next 30 days? I believe it will change everything. You’ll start making wise decisions, and you’ll start honoring God. Who wants to be clobbered anyway?!?! Im rooting for you to pick up God’s Word everyday for the next 30 days!
