Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you
Proverbs 2:11 (NLT)
Today’s verse tells us that discretion can preserve you. To be discreet is to have prudence or good sense. The question today then is, how can being discreet or prudent preserve you?
1, It helps you to focus on your own business
When you are discreet or prudent it helps you to focus on your own business because you realise that you only have one life and it makes good sense to use the time you have left to focus on your God-given assignment:
That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NKJV)
2, It helps you stay out of people’s business
When you are discreet it helps you to stay out of other people’s business. We are encouraged to work and not to meddle in other people’s business, in other words, not be busy bodies:
Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living
1 Thessalonians 3:11-12 (NLT)
In summary, when you are discreet and focus on your own business and not meddle in other people’s affairs, it helps to preserve you because you avoid any unnecessary trouble that doesn’t concern us.
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help me to be discreet in minding my own business and not to meddle in other people’s business in Jesus name.
