Morning Devotion - Prov. 14

Read Proverbs 14

I was struck this morning with a number of proverbs in this chapter (and I am sure throughout this book) that deal with the issue of TIME. Some thoughts:

1. The pleasure-seeking fool seems to know only the immediacy of the present.

2. There is a patience to godly wisdom that will be richly rewarded. See also the Beatitudes (Matthew 5).

3. In the words of the hymn, "Solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children knows."

The Point: The accomplishment of our salvation was not according to the way that might immediately seem right to a man, but according to the wise purpose and plan of God, which leads to a secure and everlasting joy.

Peace
