Righteous living leads to life and health!

The Proverbist reveals that righteous living leads to life and gives health to the body (Proverbs 3:8). Life can sometimes be hard and challenging, and we all experience difficulties in life, but one of the ways we can overcome the negativities that come from time to time, is to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. Even though the wicked might experience earthly prosperity, know that not far behind, trouble follows. And trouble will always catch up with the wicked (Proverbs 15:6).

Don’t ever  compare what you have to that of a wicked person. You might see them seemingly enjoying their spoils with impunity, but the day will come when they experience terror, destruction, distress and anguish (Proverbs 1:26,27) . But God gives the righteous peaceful sleep and prosperity.

Proverbs 10:16  – The labor of the righteous leads to life, the wages of the wicked to sin.

Are you wise or foolish?

The Proverbist taught that wisdom is the principal thing. He declared in Proverbs 4:7 – Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. A wise person appreciates and honors wisdom and understanding. They do whatever it takes to gain knowledge and understanding. They pay the price to obtain it. One of the beautiful and powerful things about wisdom is that once you obtain it, it’s yours for the rest of your life. You can store up wisdom and knowledge for a future season where you will need it. Conversely, the foolish think that they know it all. They don’t need anybody to tell them anything because they know better. The fool will pass right by knowledge and not even realize what they are missing. That lack of knowledge will ultimately lead them to their destruction. People perish for lack of knowledge. Determine today to prioritize your pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, especially the knowledge and wisdom that comes from God’s word. It will be life to you and health to your body!

Proverbs 10:14 – Wise people store up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
