Title: A Way That Leads To Hell

Scriptures: Proverbs 14:1 - 13

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Today, God warns us that although walking with Him or choosing to be wise may be the right thing to do, it doesn't mean that the road to wisdom is smooth.  According to verse 1 of this chapter, God said that Lady wisdom builds a lovely home; but sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick.  This clearly warns us that the road we take in pursuing what is right and wise will not be easy.  Because sir Fool will come along to tear whatever we have brick by brick.  The word of God doesn't say a time limit for Mister Fool to destroy whatever we have from Lady Wisdom.  So this could mean that Mr. Fool comes to destroy us every time we choose wisdom.  So be warned!  Then Solomon continued on showing us that despite of the fact written in verse 1, the honest life is still the best choice there is because it keeps your life on track so despite of this truth, let us still continue to choose wisdom.  Because God will build us up and reward us. 

Another warning I see here is found in verse 12 - 13, Solomon wrote, "There’s a way of life that looks harmless enough; look again—it leads straight to hell. Sure, those people appear to be having a good time, but all that laughter will end in heartbreak." - this is again a loud and very clear warning for us all.  It's the warning of deception!  We need to look closely to the path we choose in our lives because more often, the life that most people choose, is not what they really seem to be.  So choose wisely!  Every day is a choice to live with wisdom or to live foolishly...the choice is yours!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for the warnings Lord.  Thank You for giving me a heads up that the life or path You have chosen for me may not be easy but it is definitely rewarding and satisfying.  Help me Lord to make the right choices each day, that despite of the truth that the wise, good, holy life may not be an easy road, it is the right choice!  Help me also Lord to look closely to the choices I make.  Open my eyes to see the truth and show it to me that I may not be deceived.  Help me to remember that not everything that looks good is good and I have to closely examine my choices that I may not be choosing the path that will lead me straight to hell.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Proverbs 14:1 (The Message Version)

Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home; Sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick.

God warns us that the road to wisdom is not a smooth path.  In fact, Mister Fool will come along for the sole purpose of tearing everything down brick by brick for every wise decision we make.  So be warned and assured that the wise choices you make, are the right choices to take!

Rest and be secured in the Lord as you make the wise decisions in your life today!

Have a blessed day!
