Walk This Way: Walk a Path of Wisdom

Walk This Way: Walk a Path of Wisdom

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the past 30 days, with one more to go, I have been sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day thirty-one with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of wisdom.

Walk a Path of Wisdom

“Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.”
Proverbs 23:19 (NIV)

Who is the wisest person you know?  In your opinion, what makes them so wise?  How much value do you place on wisdom?  How much effort do you put forth in obtaining wisdom?  What are some of the benefits of having wisdom?  Are there things about wisdom that you would consider to not be a benefit?  Why?  What is the ultimate source of wisdom?  How intent are you in obtaining it?

The Bible tells us that Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived and that his wisdom was granted to him because he requested it from God.  James also tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God who will give it generously without finding fault.  As you pray, ask God to help you see how much you attempt to rely on your own wisdom and how much you look to Him for true wisdom.  Pray that God would also give you the courage to use the wisdom that He supplies.  Pray that your use of godly wisdom would always keep you on the right path.  Pray that you would allow God to direct your path according to His wisdom.  Pray that you would have a reputation as one filled with God’s wisdom.

In prayer,

Tom

Walk This Way: Walk an Upright Path

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 2 days I will finish sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day thirty with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path that is upright.

Walk an Upright Path

“He whose walk is upright fears the LORD, but he whose ways are devious despises Him.”
Proverbs 14:2 (NIV)

Do people tend to trust what you say to be accurate and not misleading?  Are you a person of you word?  Would your family agree with your answer?  Would your coworkers or the people closest to you agree?  How much does your respect for God influence your words and actions?  How do you feel about people who use deceit to get you to do something you would normally refuse?  Are there times when you withhold information to get someone to do what you want?

God says that it is a fear of Him that leads us to walk an upright path.  When we choose to be devious in our actions it shows that we despise Him.  As you pray, ask God to help you have a healthy respect of Him that will lead you to make right choices.  Pray that your life choices would give you a reputation to the people around you as one who walks an upright path.  Pray that God would help you to examine and remove any activity in your life that would contain even a trace of deceit.  Pray that the people around you would come to have a fear of God that would lead them to walk an upright path.

In prayer,

Tom

Walk This Way: Walk an Unhindered Path

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 3 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day twenty-nine with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path that is unhindered.

Walk an Unhindered Path

“I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.”
Proverbs 4:11-12 (NIV)

Have you ever taken a walk in which you were not appropriately dressed for the distance or activity level you ended up doing?  Have you ever noticed how the weight of something seems to increase the longer you carry it?  What are some things that tend to slow you down in your walk with Christ?  Are there things in your life that you need to get rid of in order to walk an unhindered path?  What will you do with them?

Throughout the book of Proverbs, Solomon gives instructions for following the way of wisdom so our path would be unhindered.  Many years later Paul encourages those who are following Christ to throw off anything that would hinder our walk and to get rid of the sin that entangles us.  As you pray, as God to help you see the things that are holding you back from a productive walk with Him.  Pray that you would identify and remove everything that hinders your ability to walk in faithfulness.  Pray that your unhindered walk would help you to be more effective in sharing the gospel of Jesus with the people around you.

In prayer,

Walk This Way: Walk a Path of Understanding

Walk This Way: Walk a Path of Understanding

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 4 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day twenty-eight with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of understanding.

Walk a Path of Understanding

“Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
Proverbs 9:6 (NIV)

What are some things that you have a difficult time understanding?  What makes them so difficult to you?  Do you expect everything to have an easy, simple answer?  What happens when you have to work harder than desired in order to understand something or someone?  How much effort do you put in understanding the things of God?  How much of your understanding of God do you base simply on faith?  Do you have to understand something completely before you believe or accept it?

Solomon writes as the voice of wisdom calling his readers to turn away from simple ways and walk a path of understanding.  As you pray, ask God to help you grow in your understanding of who He is and how much He loves you.  Pray that you would have an understanding of the faith required to know God.  Pray that God would fill you with wisdom as you leave behind the ways of the simple and live a life of understanding.  Pray that God’s wisdom would help you to know how to walk a path of understanding with the people around you.

In prayer,

Tom
