Proverbs 2:10 CSB
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight you.

With reading so much of Solomon over the past few weeks, the conversation always circles back to wisdom. It’s what separated him from everyone else, but additionally in his decision making when he practiced it, he made great decisions. When he didn’t, he made horrible decisions. That’s the case for me too.
The phrase I can’t escape this morning is “and knowledge will delight you.” the more that I learn, the happier I will be. This does not mean happiness is found in knowledge, I believe it means that knowledge leads to understanding and understanding leads to joy. Once we understand a situation, life, our place, that gives us the tools to operate in the way we need to as humans.

Proverbs 4:26 CSB
Carefully consider the path for your feet, and all your ways will be established.
Discover:
The path that you go down will dictate the life that you live. What I encounter as I choose where to go is a direct result of that decision. If I choose the Godly path, then my ways will be established. If i choose the ungodly path, I will face darkness and despair.
That’s true with faith, but also with anything. Health, family, goals… you HAVE to be on the right path. That is how you accomplish it! Follow the right ways and get moving!
