Devotional: The Lord Will Be Our Confidence

"The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up And the skies drip with dew. My son, let them not vanish from your sight; Keep sound wisdom and discretion, So they will be life to your soul And adornment to your neck. Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; For the LORD will be your confidence And will keep your foot from being caught."
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:19-26‬ ‭NASB‬‬

These verses are of great comfort to me this week. Wisdom, understanding, knowledge, sound wisdom and discretion are what God provides for us to keep us from going astray from Him.

He provides these things also so that we will know the wicked man when we see him and can escape from him.

When we exercise these things our lives He says we will walk securely and won’t stumble, we will be able to lie down and our sleep will be sweet.

We do not have to be afraid of sudden fear or of the onslaught of the wicked because the Lord will be our confidence. He will keep our feet from being caught.
