Our Daily Bread Devotional 11 September 2021
TOPIC: From Wisdom to Joy
KEY VERSE: [Wisdom] will guide you down delightful paths.
– Proverbs 3:17 nlt
Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 3:13–18
INSIGHT
The phone rang and I picked it up without delay. Calling was the oldest member of our church family—a vibrant, hard-working woman who was nearly one hundred years old. Putting the final touches on her latest book, she asked me some writing questions to help her cross the finish line. As always, however, I soon was asking her questions—about life, work, love, family. Her many lessons from a long life sparkled with wisdom. She told me, “Pace yourself.” And soon we were laughing about times she’d forgotten to do that—her wonderful stories all seasoned with true joy.
Wisdom leads to joy, the Bible teaches. “Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding” (Proverbs 3:13 nlt). We find that this path—from wisdom to joy—is a biblical virtue, indeed. “For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy” (Proverbs 2:10 nlt). “God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him” (Ecclesiastes 2:26 nlt). Wisdom “will guide you down delightful paths,” adds Proverbs 3:17 (nlt).
Reflecting on the matters of life, author C. S. Lewis declared that “joy is the serious business of heaven.” The path there, however, is paved with wisdom. My church friend, who lived to be 107, would agree. She walked a wise, joyful pace to the King. By: Patricia Raybon
REFLECT: What paths have you taken in trying to find joy? How can wisdom lead you to joy?
PRAYER:
When I might take a rocky road, loving God, please point me back to Your path of wisdom and joy.
Bible in a Year: Proverbs 10–12 2 Corinthians 4
