Speaking Of Being Wise

 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. Psalm 119:98-100

I have been reading Psalm 119 lately and I run across these verses. The God who created us has put wisdom in his commandments.  They are the best way to live. God makes the universe work. God makes our planet to work. It is his design as are we. God has been there since the beginning. He sees from beginning to end. He knows every one of our days before they happen. I am in the process of taking a financial course. There are 2350 scriptures talking about money/finances in the bible. Wisdom is only good if we adhere to it. If we know it and don't follow it does nothing to help us, we suffer the consequences. The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. Proverbs 27:12. I have ignored good advice and suffered the consequences. In two of my failed marriages, I was warned and didn't listen.  God is not up in heaven waiting with a hammer to knock us silly if we disobey. He allows free choice and we suffer the consequences of our decisions good and bad. He advises us, tells us the best way to live but does not take away free choice. Sin looks good and often feels good but in the end, it kills, it destroys.  God is a sovereign God, and he sees the beginning and the end. He does what is best for us even when it hurts at times and we can't see it or don't understand why. God bless, LVZ.
