Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 9:11
Proverbs 9:11
"For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you."
This is an amazing proverb when you stop and examine it. He is saying that it is possible to change your destiny by your embrace or lack of utilization of wisdom.
If you are wise, you will have a different destiny path than if you were not wise. How this is possible we do not know. God knows all the possibilities but is able to offer you real choices with real consequences.
If you look consistently for the everybody-wins solution, then you will have longer life than if you look for the selfish choice.
Notice that he says that your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added. This can be thought of as both the elimination of many of the consequences of living wickedly – disease, fights, stress, bitterness, etc. There is also the positive blessing of God that he adds – jobs, relationships, extra gifts, etc.
Until tomorrow,
