AUTHENTIC WISDOM!

Proverbs 10:23 – Devotional

Proverbs 10:23

“It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.”

“He thinks he’s such a wise guy!” Most of us have heard this expression to describe a person who behaves in a thoughtless manner while seemingly thinking it does not matter how his actions may adversely affect others.

The older I get, the more sensitive I become to how easy it is to cause pain to those around us. Our words or even expressions may turn someone’s day on its end and crush their spirit.

As faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ we should make it our aim to build others up rather than leave them feeling crushed and in despair. I know from personal experience what it is like to be taunted and rejected. As a counselor I discovered that many, if not most people that we come in contact with throughout the day are dealing with feelings of inadequacy.

As followers of Jesus we should make it our aim to build others up rather than tearing them down. We should make it our primary aim to encourage the disappointed and lift the fallen in spirit. Authentic wisdom is to share the Real Hope of the world which is Jesus and His saving blood to give us eternal salvation!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
