Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Keith and Kristyn Getty singing … God’s Perfect Wisdom … poignantly singing of how we, children must look to follow God’s perfect wisdom in dealing with confusing life.

… Solomon shows us that the fear of an following the Lord is the way to wisdom.
Highlight Passage [Context]: … Proverbs 3:5-6 [NLT] … USE THIS LINK …
…It’s all a matter of trusting God to follow His word and to avoid letting our own ways to lead us to temptation and ruin.
Highlight Passage [Context]: … Proverbs 3;13 [NLT] …

My Devotional Journa Today's Our Daily Bread author, Sheridan Voysey … AT THIS LINK … tells of how Solomon tries to help his son in the first nine chapters of Proverbs to look to follow the wonderful woman called “wisdom”, rather than to be led thru the wrong door of temptation by Satan’s evil temptress - that other woman Solomon warned his son about over and over again (see Proverbs above).
And my guess is that everyone - especially every man - reading here has been led by the temptress of sexual sin to that red door of self-indulgence and selfish sin <b>in the photo</b>. All we have to do is follow the wise woman God gives us to go to one of the other doors - ANY of the other doors.
Oh how I pray we avoid that red door today.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me the empowering and discerning grace to open the doors You lead me to open for my good and Your glory today.
My Prayer Today Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to seek out and follow Your wisdom, Lord, and as we confront the doors of life today.. … Amen
