Wisdom: The Principle ThingSample

You Can Run But You Can't Hide

As I have been reading and studying the book of Proverbs, not only do I see the gift of God giving us wisdom through these words, but I have found this book and particularly this chapter to be a reflection, giving insight into my own self. This is one of the beautiful things about Scripture—it shows us how wretched we are and how good God is. It is a mirror into our lives, showing us who we are apart from Christ, and also how we, through His grace, can become more Christ-like. That is the beautiful conviction of Proverbs 28.

It is so important to look to Jesus and try to live a life that mirrors Christ. A life of integrity and right living will always outweigh the sometimes temporary appeal of sin. We will never live in perfection this side of Heaven, but that is the beauty of what Christ did for us on the cross.  Because of Jesus we can live a life of honesty, of humility, and of repentance. What a beautiful thing to think about as we think about our daily walk. We can try to hide, however, there will always be consequences. Sisters, look to God, live a life of integrity, repent when need be, and never live in condemnation. That is the beautiful wisdom we find in Proverbs 28.
