MAY 11, Proverbs 8:35-36

God has set two ways for everybody in this world to choose to walk in. One way leads to Life and the other way leads to Death. Nobody is so foolish as to love Death at the onset. Yet many people are choosing it without knowing it. Why? Because that road looks attractive, and one would naturally prefer it. These people do not love God; they do not believe the Lord Jesus Christ; this is sad but is a common sin.

Wise people want to seek the right way and find favour with God. This means to believe in what the Bible says. We are not talking about the wisdom of the world, or about people who may have studied a lot and have secured advanced degrees. Instead, we are talking about the wisdom that only God can give. The Bible clearly states, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).

Which path would you prefer? Why do you choose that path?

Thought: To find Jesus is to find life everlasting.

Prayer: Our Father in Heaven, help me to be faithful in sticking to the path that leads to heaven, and make me love Jesus more and more. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
