5.1.11

Proverbs 14:15 Only simpletons believe everything they are told! The prudent carefully consider their steps.

My Thoughts

Prudent: 1. Wise in handling practical matters; exercising good judgment or common sense. 2. Careful in regard to one's own interests; provident. 3. Careful about one's conduct; circumspect. The Bible tells us to seek wisdom... here we are told to be wise in handling things, to exercise good judgment... to use common sense.  Jesus tells us to love our neighbors... and here it tells us not to be stupid.... just because we love our neighbors doesn't mean that we have to be a push over, we don't have to be taken advantage of. In fact we are to be wise in these matters...we are to use discretion.... we are to listen to the Holy Spirit inside of us telling us when things are not what they seem.  We are to be loving and good, sweet and kind and we are to carefully consider our steps.  We are to take responsibility for our actions and make wise choices. God loves us He doesn't want us to be taken advantage of.
