Best Of Both Worlds
July 4, 2024

DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 16:15-18
In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

    I have heard people say before, “that guy or girl has the best of both worlds.” One might wonder, what two worlds are they talking about? Well, the phrase simply means having your cake and eating it too, reaping the benefits from two situations here on this earth.

    However, there is a better meaning for the phrase “Best of Both Worlds.” True wisdom from above and an understanding of that wisdom can give a person the best of two real worlds: the world in which we live today and the world to come.

    Godly wisdom and understanding will cause a person to turn to God and His Word in times of trials and tribulation. However, you will occasionally find the unsaved also searching through the pages of the Bible during troubling times. True wisdom is understanding that the Word of God is needed during both good times and painful ones in life.

    God’s Word will help the upright choose the path in life that leads away from evil. In the world we live in today, we need all the guidance we can find to help us navigate past the snares and traps of Satan.

    In choosing this life of surrender to God through accepting His Son, Jesus, as our Savior, we also preserve our souls for the world to come. Yes, Christians are afforded the best of both worlds. A place in heaven has been secured for us through Christ. Navigating our path in life today means we need to remain humble and stay focused on God’s guiding hand.

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

    Here are some keys to survival: Stay in touch with the author. Speak to God daily through prayer and allow Him to speak to you through the pages of His Word. Then, consistently fellowship with other believers whom God has put together to encourage you. He calls them the Church!

Do you have the best of bothe Worlds?
If not, why?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and todays Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
