David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 6th September 2024
The first nine chapters of the book of Proverbs are recorded as the words (advice, teachings) of a father to his son on how to live a wise life. The Hebrew idea of wisdom is “skill”—avoiding spiritual and moral danger. Proverbs 2:1-6 describes the acquisition of wisdom as a process not unlike searching for hidden treasure—it takes time and diligence.
Paul continues that idea in Ephesians 5:15-16, exhorting Christians to walk carefully and skillfully. Why is wisdom (skill) so necessary? “Because the days are evil.” This is an idea not unlike the ideas in Proverbs 1–9—that the path through life is filled with traps and snares of all kinds. The person who strolls through life unaware of these dangers will be easily caught by them. Thus the need to walk “circumspectly” (carefully), making the most of the limited time and opportunities we have.
As the example in James 4:13-17 points out, carefulness starts with consulting God on decisions and directions. Over time, our skill in discerning God’s will grows as we benefit from His guidance.
I pray as I walk about, when I lie down and when I rise up. And the answers are always coming.
George Müller
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Ezekiel 39 – 40
