Longevity

Read Proverbs 9

Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life.

Proverbs 9:11

It’s not a pill, a diet, or a complicated daily regimen; however, it is the top technique for increasing our longevity. It has nothing to do with guava juice, gravity weights, or wrinkle analysis, yet it does wonders for our health and vitality. Don’t look for it on the Home Shopping Network anytime soon. It can’t be sold, bartered for, or bought, yet its value is priceless. Men and women have turned to it with guaranteed results throughout the centuries. It boasts the longest running ad history of any product—its formula has been unchanged since its inception.

Known as wisdom, it is both prescribed and described within the pages of the Bible. Whoever takes wisdom to heart will experience the quality of life we were meant to share. It relieves stress under pressure. It cures our heartaches and changes our attitudes. It offers perspective on persecution. Wisdom can lance our emotional ailments and thereby increase our physical health as well. Indeed, is it any wonder that it is the greatest health secret of the ages?

A WORD FOR TODAY

Take wisdom like daily vitamins.

Today, Lord, I need help applying wisdom to my life’s ailments. Deliver me from my insistence on fixing my own pain. Instead, may I lean on your counsel.
