We ought to take pride in maintaining a heart and lifestyle based upon heavenly wisdom.
Maintaining A Heart Set On Heavenly Wisdom
This fallen world has always positioned itself as a roadblock to pursuing a relationship with God. There will always be obstacles strewn in our path, that will never change. But sometimes these distractions are quite appealing, they appear as alternative pathways to a happy and fulfilling life. However, any path in life that does not include the Lord (no matter how appealing) is a dangerous one.
The pull of satan and the world to join these paths are very strong! How can one successfully navigate through life while staying true to his or her spiritual convictions and commitments? By Maintaining a heart set on heavenly wisdom!
It behooves us to internalize how crucial this is. Especially given the fact that life is short. With each new day the Lord blesses us with, we ought to center our hearts and lives around his wisdom (Psa 90:10, 12; Jam 4:13-17).
We cannot afford to neglect walking in such wisdom, the cost of failing to do so is too high! Do not be fooled by the appealing distractions of this life—which lead us further away from fellowship with God and his precious promises (2 Pet 1:3-11). We ought to take pride in maintaining a heart and lifestyle based upon heavenly wisdom. In his letter to the Christians at Corinth, the apostle Paul highlighted the importance of this attitude, “For our reason for boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, in holiness and purity of motive from God, not in merely human wisdom, but by the grace of God.” - 2 Cor 1:12, LEB.
As you start your day, cherish the inspired words of Pro 4:20-27:
20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. 24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. 25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. 27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
