Wisdom or Folly, Blessing or Curse: The Choice is Ours

Proverbs 9:4&16

          "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who
           lack judgment.

Wisdom and folly can be found on every street corner in our urban centers. Wisdom and folly faithfully make their appeals to those who are simple and lack judgment. Lady wisdom leads to life, lady folly to death. When all is said, we have a choice. It reminds me of the words of God to the Israelites as he reaffirms his covenant with them.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2,15

           If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all
           his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set
           you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will
           come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD
           your God...However, if you do not obey the LORD your God
           and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am
           giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake
           you:

God has set two paths before us. Wisdom or folly, blessing or curse. The choice is ours and so are the consequences.
