—Proverbs 8:10-21
by: Angie Osborn.
The word prudence means care, caution, good judgment and wisdom in looking ahead. In this selection, our friend, Wisdom, is linked to prudence. Wisdom from the heavenly father really does result prudence. With his wisdom, we can care for others and about the truly important things in this life. His wisdom gives us discernment (caution) so we stay on the right paths and can exercise good judgment, according to his laws. We also have wisdom in looking to the future. With Christ, our future stretches through eternity. With God’s wisdom, we are able to see that the valuables of this earth are passing. Our true treasure will be the enduring wealth of Christ’s love in our lives and the Lord’s direction in our decisions and actions.
