Daily Reading: Leviticus 27:14-Numbers 1:54, Mark 11:1-26, Psalm 46:1-11Proverbs 10:23
Daily Verse: “Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.” Prov. 10:23
Activity reveals character.
Watching a fictional show about car racing, one driver nudged the opponent’s car, causing him to spin out and lose the race.
“Is that legal?” I asked Ron.
“No, but people do it.”
Causing another person to crash to win a race says a lot about the driver’s character. For the fool in today’s verse, they consider evil conduct sport. Winning a race by cheating doesn’t constitute victory.
Understanding comes with wisdom, which knows how you play the game matters more than who wins or loses.
Character develops one good decision at a time. Consistently doing the right thing repeatedly develops strong character and helps us become more Christ-like.
Seek wisdom and understanding. Let God’s guidance and directions develop a Christ-like character in you.
Lord, forgive us for our poor choices. Help us develop Christ-like character as we consistently choose You. Give us the tools to make good decisions that honor and serve You always. IJNIP. Amen
