Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”
Proverbs 19:20-21
Wisdom leads to a glorious future; it is a doorway to eternity. In the New Testament the idea that corresponds to the quest for wisdom in texts such as this is the goal of Christ-likeness, to be conformed to His image. Ultimately, to be wise (in the biblical sense) is to be like Christ.
A wise person commits his or her plans to the Lord. A person whose plans oppose the Lord may actually become God’s enemy. But the person whose ways are from God (from His Word – the Bible) will certainly succeed.
God’s blessings on your day…
