King Solomon’s proverbs instruct people of all walks of life on the importance of wisdom, understanding, and learning: knowing and embracing them begins with the fear of God—revere Him. He is worthy of praise and honor. Fear Him—yes, be afraid. Holy God holds us accountable for our thoughts, words, actions.
Wisdom cries out for everyone; the hearers who refuse to listen and learn will live with the consequences that follow. But if you turn away from evil’s compelling voice and listen to and learn from God’s Wisdom—His counsel—safety and peace of mind are yours: “But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely and shall be quiet from fear of evil” (Proverbs 1:33). 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.
The wisest decision you can make is to believe that God sent His only Son, born of a virgin, to pay the world’s sin debt—yours and my sin debt to save us from our sins. Ask God to forgive you; invite Jesus to be Lord of your life. Wise or foolish, the bed you make, you will lie in.
