Dear friend, let’s rejoice today on this blessed Palm Sunday! God has created a victorious path for us even today. He is alive. Let’s celebrate Jesus. Let’s love Him. Let’s listen to Him today, just as Proverbs 8:20 says, “I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice.” Proverbs 8 is a chapter overflowing with the wisdom of God. And wisdom declares, "I only walk in the way of righteousness and in the paths of justice." Whoever receives this wisdom of God will be led to walk only in righteousness and justice. They will fear to do any evil, to think evil, or to act in unrighteousness. Wisdom places the fear of God within us. And today, you are about to receive such wisdom to be led in the righteous path.
One day, as I was driving, I came to a red light. The car at the front of the line stopped and waited. But just seconds later, all the cars behind began honking loudly. Even though the light was red, and there were no cars coming from the opposite side, they wanted to push forward. Still, the man at the front didn't move. He didn’t give in. One man from an auto even stepped out and shouted, “Go, man! Why are you waiting? There’s no one there!” But the driver remained calm, his eyes fixed forward, completely unbothered. Only when the light turned green did he move, and then everyone else had to follow his lead. They were forced to follow the right way.
My friend, I was so impressed by that. Wisdom leads us on such a path. Will you obey? Today, let’s surrender to this wisdom. You might be facing thoughts of lying, of hiding the truth from others, perhaps your boss, your parents, or those who aren’t watching. You might be tempted to take crooked paths. But today, my friend, let’s ask for the Spirit of Wisdom to guard us with righteous thoughts and just actions. God will honour you. As the following verses in Proverbs 8 say, the one who follows righteousness and justice will receive God’s inheritance. Today, God’s inheritance is waiting for you. Will you receive it?
PRAYER:
Loving Lord, thank You for speaking to me through Your Word. Thank You for this blessed Palm Sunday. You are alive, and Your victory gives me hope. Lord, please fill me with the Spirit of Wisdom today. Lead me in the way of righteousness and justice. Help me to reject every thought and act of unrighteousness. Let me fear You and walk uprightly in all I do. Teach me to love truth and turn away from deceit. Let Your wisdom guard my heart and guide my steps, and enable me to walk in Your inheritance all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
