Read Pro. 13:15-22
How would you like to walk in the favor of God? You can! It comes by having good understanding which is what you get when you read and meditate and apply God's Word. Today's reading is a collection of promises to those who live their lives according to God's Word and those who don't. The ones to follow God are not only given favor but they know how to live with the knowledge they are given to benefit their lives. They become healing and their words are words of life. They welcome correction and live out the dreams God has placed in them. They walk with those who are wiser than them so they can learn and they are rewarded for the good they do to others. They pass on an inheritance to their children of godliness and prosperity.
To the one who doesn't choose to walk in God's ways his life will be hard. His life will reflect his bad decisions. Poverty and shame will follow him and he will live a life of evil and destruction. His inheritance will be given to those who follow God.
Lord, how sad for those who don't follow you. You are so worthy of our lives and we joyfully lay them down for you. Teach us understanding and wisdom from your throne that we might leave an inheritance for the next generation of holiness.
