Proverbs 3:7 NASB
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Devotional
Let’s keep this simple.
- First, we need to admit that with the complexities and perplexities of life, even the smartest of us is not all that brilliant.
- Second, the LORD our God is awesome in holiness, majesty, power, wisdom, and grace; He is far beyond us and all we can truly grasp of Him is the smallest of glimpses of glory.
- Finally, let’s stay away from anything that smacks of evil knowing that evil infects and confuses us, as well as separates us from God.
