Daily Devotions: by Christina Farris

Proverbs 9:1-18 KJV
(1) Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
(2) She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
(3) She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
(4) Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
(5) Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
(6) Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
(7) He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
(8) Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
(9) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
(10) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
(11) For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
(12) If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
(13) A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
(14) For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
(15) To call passengers who go right on their ways:
(16) Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
(17) Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
(18) But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

The persecuted church could learn something about the state of persecution. Is persecution because of wisdom or because they just refuse to hear. There is always stories of missionaries killed and missionaries having the ability to go into villages to share the gospel where people have been slain who tried to do the same. Does it matter which verse you believe about reason some are killed and some defeat the enemy. Some having the full armor and others seeming to be half protected. Yet Steven full of the Holy Spirit died before the crowd as he was stoned, giving praise to God. The point is the word of God brings about two reactions, one of rejoicing and receiving of truth or persecution and rejection.

A wise man will hear the instruction of the Lord. But a man that lacks wisdom should of ask of God before he meet the woman at the corner that feed him the sacrifice of peace, and whoredom. Devils tend to feed people both things of God and things that are wrong. They use enough godly wisdom to deceive whether they apply it to their own life or not. Devils that do not want to hear the word of God will only seek to destroy both you and the word of God.

A wise man will sit and listen to the word of God. How many have listen to the wisdom of the world searching for truth only find a place to stumble, but God’s wisdom leads to straight and narrow paths, only lead to God. Take the path that leads to the world and you find a path of much destruction over time. If you teach wisdom of God to those that are not of God, they can change by the power of God through the truth of the word if they will only hear it. Yet if ministering to the world you to have to be able to hear the wisdom of God through His Spirit and His Word. That attack of the enemy is strong. If you fight a war you hear your comrades voice, yet without hearing your captains voice you will never learn to follow instructions. Passing the chain of command down the instruction are not always exactly repeat as given. One mistake can cost a life. One mistake of trusting the enemy for a moment can lead to defeat of the battle your in. One sin can influence a person that wrong way that will lead that person to destruction. The world is influenced by many kinds of people. One believers mistake should not cost the world, but it did begin with Eve. Eve gave the fruit that lead to unrighteousness by the temptation of the serpent. So it is with the world that see our mistakes they look and say they are just like me, what the big deal. I am alright without God, and the truth is they are not alright without God they just do not see the difference God can make. For the sin was caused by temptation and yielding to desire, temptation or seduction. God only role in sin, is allowing it to exist and one day it will be no more.

Dear Heavenly Father move the mountains of sin that influence those who have yet o believe, because they hear not your wisdom, but the wisdom of the seducer. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
