Thought for Today - Wisdom - Why should we desire it? By Pastor Linda Cross
Thought for Today:
Why should we desire wisdom? Why is it crying out in the streets? What can happen if we don't have it?
Proverbs 1:8-19 NIV -
8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
9 They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.
10 My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them.
11 If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for innocent blood, let's ambush some harmless soul;
12 let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us; we will all share the loot"--
15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;
16 for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.
17 How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!
