The book of Proverbs often discusses three primary categories of people: fools, the wicked, and the wise. Fools become easy prey for the wicked. The wise, however, can see through deception and make prudent choices in difficult situations. The reason? The wise fear God and heed His instructions: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7) and “the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10).
Choose to fear God. It is for your own good. Start by accepting Jesus’. He is the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to God except through Him. (John 14:6).
