DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 2:20-22
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

        Wisdom and knowledge will not only give you a great life now (and they will), but they will also help you steer clear of evil men and a sinful life in the present. Furthermore, they will remain with you for all eternity.

      WOW! God’s Word – what an investment. You can invest in any market you want today, and with 100% assurance, I can tell you this: there is no eternal guarantee. In fact, every broker in the world will tell you that investing in stocks is risky. However, the Word of God is something you can invest in that holds a promise of eternal value. What are these values?

     • First, you will walk in the company of good people. Why? Because you will begin to want to, and so you will. Today, you hang out with whom you want to. If you didn’t want to, you would quit it.

     • Two, you’ll keep the paths of the righteous. In other words, you will do the right things. Think about it. If you are storing God’s wisdom and knowledge in your heart and acting upon it, how can you do anything else but what the righteous would do? God makes people righteous by placing them in a right standing with Him through His Son Jesus and His Word.

     • Three, you will have possessions in the Promised Land. Not the Promised Land that Israel has, but the Bible says we will rule and reign with Him (Jesus) when He returns.

     • Fourth, you will be perfect. Are you perfect now? I will wait while you go look in the mirror and ask yourself that question. Are you back? Okay, so we are not perfect now. Nevertheless, we are made perfect in Christ Jesus. We will be perfect when Jesus comes, and sin is removed forever.

     • Finally, all those who are a problem in your life today will be saved or gone! We will live forever with Jesus.     

 

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

     So, what are you waiting for? Make a deposit today. Dedicate some time to God’s Word. Imprint the Word of God onto your heart. You will be making a wise investment, and the rewards are eternal!

Did you make an investment into your life today,
or let the world make a withdrawl from your life?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and todays Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
