Be Prudent – Not Simple
October 9th, 2009 | 
Author: Proverbs 14:15
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
Many people will take at face value what anyone says about anything. God calls these people simple in this Proverbs verse. He says they believe whatever is told to them. That includes things about the Bible.
Did you know that God expects us to question things? He never expects us to take everything at face value. He expects us to question and dig in and find out the truth for ourselves. We should never take another person’s word for anything, especially with things about the Bible. This includes ministers – remember, they are human and can make mistakes too!
That includes me too. I am human and I can make mistakes. Never take anything I say as the truth until you search it out for yourself. Pray for God to reveal the truth to you. I am not perfect and neither is anyone else. We all make mistakes.
In this Proverbs verse God says that the prudent person will look well to his going. A prudent person is one who uses common sense and good judgment. It is always common sense to search out the truth for yourself. By doing that, you are looking well to your going.
Make a promise to yourself and God right now that from now on you will question and search out the truth for yourself. By staying in communication (prayer) with God, reading the Bible yourself, and studying on your own, you can keep sight of what is the real truth.
