9.12

Proverbs 9:11-12 (ESV)

11 For by me your days will be multiplied,

and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;

if you scoff, you alone will bear it.

Wisdom benefits the wise and stands against the one who rejects her. Those who embrace Wisdom will be blessed, and those who ignore her will suffer much. Few things in life impact a soul like a right response to wisdom. We are given one shot at this life, and our choices will make a difference now and eternally. Once God decides our time is up, there are no second chances. We will live forever with the consequences of what we did on earth. No thing or experience this world can offer is worth more than living according to wisdom. What are you planning to get right in your life tomorrow or next week? Why wait? Instead of postponing, just do it now. How foolish we are to deliberately delay doing what we know will bless us in this life and in the life to come.
