The ONE key to staying on the right path - the path of Wisdom - in this life is to be devoted to staying in God's Word every. single. day.
My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words of insight,
that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
~Proverbs 5:1-2
The Bible holds all the truth we need to know for living in the will of God. It is imperative that we read and study our Bible so that our lives reflect that we belong to God and not to this world.
The path of Wisdom that God desires for all of us to choose is found in
His Word. We are also given many warnings about the path of folly (sin).
Chapter 5 of Proverbs warns us about the sin of adultery. We are also encouraged in this chapter to remain faithful in our marriage which is a gift from God.
For as long as we live here on this Earth, there will be two paths for us to choose to walk on...the path of Wisdom or the path of Folly.
It's only by knowing the truth of what God says in His Word and walking obediently to all that God asks that we can walk with discretion and maintain the knowledge God has so graciously imparted to us concerning His will as we travel on the path of Wisdom.

ReplyDeleteAmen, Mary! I'm so glad to be on this journey through Proverbs with you!
DeleteAs I was reading your comments above, what you wrote about staying faithful in marriage was really "loud" to me. I actually heard it as more than not having an affair, neither of us have (I don't think). We have been separated for 2 years and I have considered going to a lawyer, and I figured my husband would back in Jan 2016 when he texted me that we need to move on, but he hasn't either. To be faithful to my husband is more than I thought it was! Please pray for me if you read this! I want to be wise and obedient to the Lord. But it takes 2 to make a marriage work, doesn't it? I want it to be a godly union, but I can't make my husband live like the Christian he says he is. I have prayed and prayed and cried and cried, and I haven't given up so...
