—Proverbs 9: 7-12
by: Angie Osborn.
This passage promises that wise actions will result in reward, days will be many and years will be added to our lives. Literally? Possibly, but maybe the reward is more figurative. Maybe the focus is on the quality of our days rather than the quantity. There are many days when I fall into bed at the end of the day feeling terrible. I feel guilty that I let anger lead me into wrong actions. I feel sad that I didn’t take the time to cuddle with one of my children. I feel bad that I didn’t handle a student at school with more love and compassion. The list goes on. If I am living in the Lord’s wisdom, however, he will lead me in those situations. By leaning on his strength and love and wisdom, the quality of my life will improve as I allow him to work through me
