It's great to see you again after a great weekend!!!
Our bold print today is found in verse 12, NLTse:
Pr 20:12
"Ears to hear and eyes to see— both are gifts from the Lord."
The ability to hear and see are physical gifts given to us when God created us! We need to thank God and not take that for granted!! However, I want to bring your attention to the spiritual side of this "gift", as well... Provebrs 22:3 says this:
Pr 22:3
"A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." NIV
As those seeking to be wise, we need to see more than just the physical! We need to watch where we go, what we do, and foresee (see it before it happens) danger; or the wrong paths. In verse 27 of this chapter, it states, "the Lord directs our steps...", but we must pay attention to the details of our life and not just wander around without a purpose. That is how you end up on the wrong path....
"Well, how do we "see" stuff, Coach?" If that is your question, then I take you back to my favorite section of Proverbs, guys:
Proverbs 2:6-9
6 For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.
9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go.
Make the choice!!!
