Devotions: How to Live up to the Standard


Discretion will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,
Proverbs 2:11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Another word for discretion here is wisdom. If we choose wisdom, she will protect us. Wise choices will help us avoid pitfalls and trouble. Understanding, or intelligence, will watch over us. If we seek and apply wisdom in our daily choice, if we are understanding of people and situations and wisely discern what is going on, that will help protect and guide us on the right path. Basically, if we hold fast that standard of truth we have been given, it will guard our hearts and minds which will in turn guide our ways. We need to seek wisdom and apply it. We need to hold fast to God’s standard of truth and live it. Ask God to help you be wise and understanding, to live in His standard of truth.
