The Path to Wisdom and Joy

            Have you had your Joy Juice today? When you drink it faithfully, you’ll discover wisdom and understanding.

            The key to wisdom is trusting in God to show us every step of the way.  That’s easier said than done, because our human nature is to want to be in control.  When we come to the point in our spiritual walk that we relinquish control and give everything to the Lord, that’s when we will begin to discover what Godly wisdom is all about.

            The passage in Proverbs 4:10 – 13 explains: “Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.  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.  Hold on to instruction; do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.”

             Though it is important to have friends who give Godly counsel, we must remember that people don’t have all the answers.  GOD…on the otherhand… does. He wants to guide us “in the way of wisdom” as the scripture says. 

            In verse 23 of that same chapter of Proverbs we are told: “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”  

            “Our heart dictates to a great extent how we live. Solomon says to guard our heart, making sure we concentrate on those desires that will keep us on the right path”…the path to wisdom and JOY!
