—Proverbs 19:1-8
by: Grace Crouch.
I once worked for two successful doctors. One is a devout Christian man who is well respected in the community. Patients choose him because they know that he seeks direction from God. They value his opinion because his life exemplifies his relationship with Christ.
The other doctor is a good man who tries to do what is right but finds little time for church and family. His entire being portrays sadness and emptiness. He has a lot of friends and most of his patients are wealthy.
Although both of these men are wealthy, one has a fulfilling life because he seeks the Lord’s will. The other seeks advice from worldly, influential men, and his life is empty. “He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good” (Proverbs 19:8, KJV). Where do you seek your wisdom?
