"The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it." - Proverbs 22:3 (ESV)

Insight

Today's truth highlights a timeless principle of wisdom: foresight protects us from harm. Just as we check weather forecasts before planning outdoor activities, God gives us the ability to recognize potential dangers and make wise choices. This isn't about living in fear, but rather exercising thoughtful discernment in our daily decisions.

What you can do

Today, pay attention to one decision you're facing that makes you slightly uneasy. Before proceeding, take five minutes to quietly consider why you feel that way and what wisdom God might be offering through that hesitation. What could choosing caution in this situation protect?

prayer

Father, sharpen my spiritual awareness to recognize potential dangers. Give me the courage to pause and seek Your wisdom when something doesn't feel right. Amen.
