Rom 16:19 NET Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
Wisdom is the principal thing . We learnt that from the book of proverbs. Through wisdom, a house is built. Wisdom! Thank God for a new week. I trust your week will be good by God’s grace. We shall be praying for wisdom today and throughout the week. Paul was giving a farewell note to the Romans, and he acknowledged their obedience to God’s word, which is known around the world. It may have been to wait for His coming, just as you are. However, he mentions here the need to be wise in good things.
Our world seems to be full of so much evil and it often tempted us to do wrong and would have just reasons for it. We are encouraged to instead put in all efforts towards good and do it very well. Give no place for evil at all. God is working in us and for us to help us through. Let us pray.
Prayer points
