Don’t Be A Simpleton! – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional June 20th

(Be Full Of Sagacity, Discretion, And Sound Judgment)

TO THE BIBLE: Proverbs 2:10-11
“When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you.”

LET’S TALK
“How can there be only one God?” Jessie argued with her bunkmate, Remi. “There are as many gods as there are people.”

“Where did you get that from? The Bible doesn’t say that; what it says is that there’s only one true God, and that’s Jesus Christ,” Remi responded authoritatively.

“There you go again saying that Jesus is God, when we all know that Jesus was a man,” Jessie continued to argue. “Don’t be a simpleton, Jess! Allow God’s Word remove silliness from your mind.”

The open-minded or seducible person could hear, “There are three gods,” and agrees. Then, he listens to a podcast where the speaker says, “There’re actually five gods,” and he also agrees to that.

Soon, someone else comes up with another theory that says there’s no God; and he also agrees. No! That’s being a simpleton.

Such folks need the wisdom of God’s Word to give them understanding. It’s guaranteed: God’s Word will eject foolishness and impart wisdom to you.

2 Timothy 3:15 tells us that the Holy Scriptures are able to make you wise. Hallelujah!

When people aren’t behaving or acting right, refer them to the Word. When the Word gets into them, there’ll be a transformation.

If they were timid, they’d become bold, sagacious, discerning, discrete, perceptive and prudent. The Word will cause them to deal wisely in the affairs of life (Joshua 1:8 AMPC).

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom….” The more of the Word you have inside you, the wiser you become, such that even your choice of words in dealing with others will be gracious, excellent, and loving.

Speak:
The Word of Christ dwells in me richly in all wisdom; therefore, I’m sagacious, discerning, discrete, perceptive, and prudent. I exude wisdom and sound judgment. I deal excellently in all my affairs today, and I make accurate judgments and decisions, for the Word propels me from within, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
