"Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions." -Proverbs 18:2 (NIV)
When we are considering options, making choices, and living life, we can be impacted by both facts and opinions. Sometimes it may be difficult to distinguish the two. We don't want to be the fools acting on opinion without understanding, so we need to work on knowing the facts!
We need to focus on understanding and not simply accept the opinions of ourselves or others. We need to rely on God to provide us with the understanding that we need in order to be informed and choose wisely. As we seek God through His Word and through prayer, we can develop an understanding that exceeds anything we could find on earth. In the end, by moving toward God, we can overcome opinion with understanding!
Move from opinion to understanding by seeking God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the understanding that only You can provide. Help me to turn to You and follow You forever. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
