Friday!

Proverbs!

Wisdom will rescue you from the evil path, from people who twist their words. 

They forsake the way of integrity and go on obscure paths. 

They enjoy doing evil, rejoicing in their twisted evil.

Their paths are confused; they get lost on their way.

Wisdom will rescue you from the mysterious woman, from the foreign woman with her slick words. She leaves behind the partner of her youth; she even forgets her covenant with God. Her house sinks down to death, and her paths go down to the shadowy dead. All those who go to her will never return; they will never again reach the ways of the living.

So you should stay on the path of good people, guarding the road of the righteous.  

Proverbs 2:12-20 CEB

This part of Proverbs paints some graphic pictures of the dangers in our world, from people who twist and manipulate with the power of their words, of those who have stepped off God's path, ignored his covenant, and want to take us with them.

And if it wasn't so enticing, then it would be easy to stay hand in hand with God, walking with him towards home.

We're given a warning & the mechanism to stay in covenant with our God - Wisdom.

I'm wondering where I need God's Wisdom to shape my path, my decisions, to challenge my thoughts today?
