Our wisdom today comes from Proverbs 4:26.
“Make a level path for your feet, and all your ways will be sure.”
Everybody expects wisdom from a wise man who lives in a holy place. However, wisdom often comes from children and others. Some of my favorite pieces of wisdom came from my wife. I gained some wisdom that I still quote to others.
One of my favorite ones was, “Sometimes we make things harder than God intended for them to be.” I recall this now because it says something about today’s proverb. It calls on us to “make a level path” for our feet. Well, duh! Any of us would do that.
You might think so, but it is not always so.
We know we need to put back a little money for a rainy day, but then we spend all we earn.
We know we need to eat healthy foods, but then we fry everything.
We know we need to be kind to others, but then we snap at other folks.
We know…
Well, you can finish your own lists.
Make and walk the level path. It is the most beneficial.
Above all, don’t make things harder than God ever intended for them to be.
