To
gain wisdom one must follow an accurate moral code.
The
path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till
the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep
darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. -
Proverbs 4:18-19
The
"path of the righteous" is that well lit road that God
illuminates with His Word and guides us with His Spirit. As we journey down the
road the sun (and Son) will get brighter and brighter as we become more
obedient to His will and ways.
In
contrast "the path of the wicked" is in deep darkness
that never brightens. In this darkness sin, evil, pain, and deception will
thrive.
The
not so funny thing about the dark is that the more we expose ourselves to it –
the more we adjust to it until it’s too late. With the sun, it may take some
getting used too at first, but then we can bask in its warmth and light. Light
and Dark are symbolic with good/evil and heaven/hell. Choose the Son – He’ll
bring life giving light and wisdom in your life.
We can
find an accurate moral code by using God’s Word.
A good
place to start is the Ten Commandments.
1. No
other Gods
2. No
idols
3. Not
use God’s Name in vane
4. Remember
the Sabbath
5. Honor
parents
6. Do not
murder
7. Do not
commit adultery
8. Do Not
Steal
9. Do
not Lie
10. Do not
covet
Once
we’ve done business with God on these we’ll be able to accept more guidance
through His Word and Spirit. Amen?
