Comedy of Errors

 Proverbs 8:14 (NASB)

14 “Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.”

    Last fall, a man in Colorado planned to rob a store, but he drew attention to himself by pacing on the sidewalk, gathering his courage. Then he entered the store and pulled a gun from his clothes—it was a BB gun—but he lost his grip and sent it tumbling behind the counter where the clerk picked it up. The man then ran from the store, but his pants, once held up with his BB gun in the waistband, fell around his legs.

    It’s amazing how our foolish deeds start multiplying on us.

    It’s also amazing how our wise deeds multiply. Our actions flow from values and convictions, and our wisdom comes from God. He says, “Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.”

    Life is confusing for us, but we don’t have to bungle our way through it. Ask God for wisdom for each day and study the counsel of His Word. The fruit of righteousness abounds with each passing year; instead of a comedy of errors, our lives become channels of blessing.

    â€œThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” It is in our coming before the Lord that we see the true nature of all that we observe around us. W. A. Criswell
