Proverbs 28:26
He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe.
You are foolish when you put faith in yourself, you must put faith in Christ. Trust the Lord with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength. If you walk safely and righteously, you will certainly be safe. Proverbs 3:5 states: Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support (BBE). Put all your hope in Jesus Christ, don’t look to your own reason for support. Rely on God for support. 2nd Kings 8:13 states; And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram (BBE). Jeremiah 17:9 states; The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it (BBE)? Mark 7:21-23 states: Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures, The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts: All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean (BBE).
Evil things cause havoc in your life. Mark 14:27-31 states: And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight. But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not. And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock’s second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same (BBE). Those verses are when Jesus is talking to the disciples before he was arrested. He gave them prophecy of the fact that they will all flee when he is arrested and that He will come back from death and visit them in Galilee. They probably thought He was kidding. He also told Simon Peter of the the fact that he will betray Him, that he will tell people that he doesn’t know Jesus. Some people like Peter will boast that they will do something, but when the time comes to do it, they don’t do it. After Jesus told Simon Peter that he will betray Him, Peter said that he wouldn’t do it. He said he would die for Jesus. In reality, when he was asked by some people whether he knew Jesus, he denied knowing Jesus. Romans 8:7 states; Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death (BBE). Job 28:28 states; And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge (BBE).
Wisdom is very important in life, that is fear of the Lord and to keep away form evil is essential indeed. 2nd Timothy 3:15-17 states; And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness: So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work (BBE). James 1:5 states; But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him (BBE).
If you lack wisdom, ask God to give you wisdom. James 3:13-18 states: Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom. But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true. This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One. For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing. But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is. And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace (BBE).
In conclusion: You are foolish when you put faith in yourself, you must put faith in Christ. Trust the Lord with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength. If you walk safely and righteously, you will certainly be safe. Thank God for every thing He has done for you in the past is doing in the present and will do in the future. If you follow righteousness you will find life, righteousness and honor. Glorify God, thank him for all the things he has done for you and will do in the future.
