Lord, grant us the ability to foresee and avoid danger!

To foresee something is to see or know something beforehand. It is to effectively anticipate something. This comes from experience and discernment. When I was a child, my mother told me not to touch the hot iron. I touched it. Now I can foresee that if I touch a hot iron, I will get burned. Proverbs 27:12 says, “A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” I get very concerned for people when they make hasty decisions, especially when the decision can hurt them or others. How many times have I heard someone say to me, ”I wish I would not have made that decision so quickly.” Be prudent; take some time to do some research before buying something. Investigate that product or service a little more before buying it. Get to know someone better before getting into a relationship. Going forward, refuse to be a simpleton. Instead be prudent. Your future depends on it!

Proverbs 27:12 “A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences”

He will lead you on the right path!

One of the great struggles that we have today is who can we trust to give us good guidance or direction. The other day, I went to a very large store looking for a specific item. I couldn’t find the item so I asked an employee did they know where the item was. She told us it was in aisle 3. However, even though she was an employee, she gave me incorrect info. I asked two more employees and finally found the item I was looking for. This happens in every area, whether you need your car repaired, a doctor that can correctly diagnose your issue, what kind of school should you go to, etc. Fortunately for us who trust in Christ, God can be trusted to give us the perfect wisdom and guidance that we need! Isaiah 48:17 (AMP) says: “This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit (benefit), Who leads you in the way that you should go”. So, instead of asking everybody for help except our Heavenly Father, it’s time to turn this equation around. Go to God first and ask Him for wisdom and guidance every morning. He will teach you to prosper in your way, and will lead you in righteous paths. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so daily walk with God because He will direct your paths!
