Proverbs 9:1-16
Reflect
Today we are presented with the option of following the invitation of wisdom or folly. Isn’t that the case we all face day in and day out? Each day we have a choice to follow the wisdom of God or the folly of the world. Wisdom offers us life, while folly promises immediate pleasure but, in the end, brings about pain and death.
To accept the invitation of wisdom means we need to leave the simple ways behind and to walk in a new way, the way of understanding. This way of understanding is accessible through God’s Word and the gift of the Holy Spirit, but we must decide it is worth pursuing.
Apply
Today take some time to evaluate the decisions you are making and determine if they are in line with wisdom or folly. I pray you will accept wisdom’s invitation of life and understanding.

Pray for North American Baptist Conference
The mission of the North American Baptist (NAB) Conference of churches is to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ at home and internationally.
Started by an immigrant missionary to meet spiritual and physical needs and adapting to a changing world, the NAB Conference of churches has a rich history that reveals God at work and a future rooted deeply in His truth, mercy, mission, and power.
The purpose of our conference of churches is to combine the strength of all member churches into a team to more effectively and more broadly accomplish the mission.
The vision of our conference is to transform communities through healthy, Christ-centered churches that reach the lost for Jesus, develop godly leaders, and multiply churches around the world.
We believe every follower of Jesus is a missionary. Our mandate is to equip missionaries for services in churches and communities in Canada, in the US, and on mission fields scattered around the world.
