—Proverbs 2:1-15
by: Richard Crouch.
How many times have you made a mistake and later thought to yourself, “I should have known better”? I should have known better than to sign a five-year lease on a mini-van. I should have known that I couldn’t spend more than I make without going into debt. A fool and his money really are soon parted.
The Lord gives us wisdom to protect us from making those mistakes in judgment. As this passage reveals, if we listen to God and allow him to guide us, we will obtain wisdom and be protected from evil. Evil can take on many forms. Wisdom reveals what those forms are and shows us the straight and narrow path around them.
