Leaving my simple ways. Proverbs 9

If you are reading the Proverbs in 31 Days with me, today (Tuesday) we are reading Proverbs Chapter 9. Here’s what I heard:

 Scripture: Proverbs 9:6

Leave your simple ways and you will live;

walk in the way of understanding.

Observation:

It is time to move into a deeper understanding of Me.

Application:

Hmm.

At first I thought another verse was jumping out at me, one that said to choose to gain wisdom, but after thinking about this all day and coming back to it, I think that God is telling me that it is time for me to delve deeper. It is time for me to gain a deeper understanding.

It is time for me to leave my simple understanding and move on up.

Gulp.

How exciting, refreshing and, I’ll admit, a little scary.

I think God wants me to ‘get’ how much of a battlefield the earth is.

Satan is attacking in so many ways.

I need to protect my time with the Lord and delve deeper to see what is really happening around me and to me.

Prayer:

Lord, I keep seeing evidence of spiritual warfare all around me.

I want to gird myself with your truth, the truth, and be prepared in the ways you want me to be.

Please, Lord, guide me in diving in deeper. Guide me in seeing and understanding what it is you want to reveal to me.

Thank you for your love of me. Thank you for your trust in me. And thank you for wanting me to draw closer.

I want to leave my simple ways. I want to walk in the way of understanding.

 What about you:

What struck you in Proverbs 9?

Or, how do you feel about diving deeper into your relationship with Christ?

PS: Just in case you are wondering, I read one day ahead of you and post my SOAP on MomsToolbox each night for the next day. That’s how I had the whole day to ponder, even if you are reading this at, say 6 a.m.
