FOLLOW THE WORD!
Proverbs 16:20 – Devotional
Proverbs 16:20
“He who follows the word wisely will find good.“
I have known many people who lived as if the world revolved around them. They seemed to be more concerned about their image than things that really mattered. There was a man in our town who proudly drove his out-dated luxury car around like he was a wealthy tycoon. Instead of waving at friends, he would simply nod.
My mother worked at the college dining hall and would often bring home leftover food that had not been served. She discovered that this family was not able to afford food, so she began making it a practice of providing them with some of the food she brought home.
Pride is an ugly thing! It prevents the one who is proud to realize his need of the Lord. When God is in control of our life, He will provide. As a young married couple we often ate beans and rice until the next payday. Someone brought us several pounds of calf’s liver and to us it tasted like the finest steak. Even now liver and onions brings back memories of how God had provided for us.
When we heed the word of God wisely we can rest content that He will make a way that will be a blessing to us and bring glory to His name. All we need to do is heed his word and we will succeed!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
