Daily Devos

So since this blog is called Daily Devos, I thought, geez, I have yet to write anything about anytime I’ve done my devos! So here goes.

Today I read Proverbs 3:33-35 from Bible.com. I use them sometimes to get a new perspective on things I’ve read a bunch already. Proverbs 3:33-35 reads: “The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. 35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.”

Usually I’m like, okay, I’m the wise person so I know I’ll inherit the glory, I’m not cursed, right? Well, after reading it and reading over their commentary, I can tell you, sometimes I think I might be the cursed one! I’m not saying that I have a curse on me as we think of curses, but rather when we aren’t following in the path that God wants us to, then we sometimes lean towards sinful ways even though we aren’t meaning to. So bad things happen only because they are being brought on us from Satan since if we are living in sin, then he’s going to be around.

God wants us to follow his lead and direction, meaning, we need to keep to His word and obey it even if it’s hard. That means to teach it to our kids, live it out ourselves and turn from the ways of the devil. You might not think that you’re like that, but ever decided to watch TV instead of having a quiet time or sleep in instead of getting up for your devos? I’m guilty of that, I’d admit it. I’m not a morning person at all! But no one says they have to be in the morning although God wants us to spend time with Him in the morning so that we are fed all day long. But it doesn’t always happen that way. That’s just one example.

I hope that you’ll look at your life and see how you are following God and try to keep from doing sinful even if they are little and not the big ones like murder. Have a blessed day!
