Proverbs 28:26  
The one who trusts in himself is a fool, 
but one who walks in wisdom will be safe. (CSB)

If you think you know it all, you’re a fool for sure; 
real survivors learn wisdom from others. (MSG)

People often say things like, “Trust your heart,” and “Don’t think; just feel.” 

God spoke through the Prophet Jeremiah these words of wisdom:

The heart is more deceitful than anything else, 
and incurable — who can understand it?
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Maybe we should seek God’s wisdom rather than trusting our hearts. God gives wisdom to all who seek it. He provides generous servings. He wants us to be wise. He wants us to follow the ways of truth and life. (See James 1:5.)

God’s wisdom gives good directions. It protects and defends. It clarifies confused thinking. 

The good news is that wisdom has been gathered and arranged for our benefit in the pages of the Bible. Drink daily from this well of life. 

None of us know it all. Each of us can add to our learning by doing what God says. Wise words put into practice appropriately provide new insight and understanding. They help protect us from unnecessary harm. 

I will listen to God’s truth and do what it says.

Our Father, grow me in wisdom. Teach me day by day as I read the Bible. Empower me to do what you say. Shape me by your words of truth and life. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
