Proverbs - Wisdom and Favor


Proverbs 14:35

 The king's favour is toward a wise servant:
but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

Wisdom will help us find favor in authority’s eyes.  When we handle life with wisdom we make those over us look good and we help them avoid having to clean up foolish messes we might make.  Whether it is our husbands, a principal, a manager, landlord or ministry leader we will find favor in their eyes if we are wise women.  We will make good use of our time, be punctual, take care of our property, and follow through on any directives. If we want to have a good relationship with anyone who is in authority over us, be sure to ask the Lord for wisdom and walk in it.  Consider your children.  When they walk in wisdom don’t you just want to give them more freedom and privileges?  When they are foolish or rebellious, don’t you find yourself upset and having to implement consequences?  Let us remind our children of the joy they bring us when they walk in wisdom and let us do the same to bless those who oversee us.
