“But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” (Proverbs 1:33)
The proverbs of King Solomon instruct the young and old,
seasoned and unseasoned, men and women, on the importance of wisdom, understanding,
and learning: to know and embrace them begins with the fear of God—bowing down before
Him. According to Solomon, Wisdom cries out for everyone to receive, but many
hearers refuse to listen and learn. Because they repeatedly ignore Wisdom’s
advice, they will live with the consequences of rejecting it.
Wisdom still cries out to everyone. The warnings of ignoring
and rejecting God and His Word are as relevant today as they were thousands of
years ago. But if you turn a deaf ear to the temptations of evil’s voice and listen
to, accept, and learn from God’s counsel, safety and peace are yours. You will
dwell securely with God, safe from evil and the fears it breeds; you will be at
ease having a clear conscience of obedience. Wise or foolish, the bed you make,
you will lie in.
