“7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.” (Proverbs 3:7,8)
Oh, how easy it is to be wise in my own eyes, to think that I have the answers and I have the wisdom. What a wicked thing to think this way. Pride will certainly result in destruction and haughtiness in a fall. It never works to speak from or go in the way of my own wisdom.
If I am wise in my own eyes and do things according to my own wisdom, I will fall in spiritual battle. God’s enemies who war against my soul will wear me down. I have no strength or wisdom in myself. The answer to these things is to fear the LORD. Fearing the LORD will give the wisdom and strength to go far away from evil. God, help me to fear You and not trust in myself!
Turn Again to the Lord
