Wisdom
Is Such
To Your Soul
My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the
honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if
you find it, you will find a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against the home of the
righteous; do no violence to the place where the righteous live; for though
they fall seven times, they will rise again; but the wicked are overthrown by
calamity.
Do not rejoice when your enemies fall, and do not let your heart
be glad when they stumble, or else the LORD will see it and be displeased, and
turn away his anger from them.
Do not fret because of evildoers. Do not envy the wicked; for
the evil have not future; the lamp of the wicked will go out.
Proverbs 24:13-20
All of us have something in our past that we regret doing. It
may have been an honest mistake, a moral failure, or a foolish decision. We
wish it had not happened, but it remains in our mind and often drags us down.
While the past remains part of our lives, it doesn’t have to
determine our future. With God’s wisdom and the forgiveness He offers, we can
focus on the future with hope.
It’s better to look ahead and prepare
than to look back and despair.
