Proverbs 22:3
3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are punished.
Another word for prudent is wise. God is giving a clear warning this morning to stay away from evil. There are many forms of evil out there and we need to be on the lookout at all times. If we are reading our Bibles we should have no problem at all recognizing evil. But if we are not reading our Bibles evil can creep up on us and we may not even see it. As the Bible clearly teaches the ole devil is out and about trying to deceive us. This verse says not only should we see evil coming but we should foresee it and anticipate that it is coming and then get out of the way! We can only do that if we are on our toes! Look at the second part of the verse but the simple or unwise just keep right on going and don't get out of the way. Then what happens? They are punished or have to pay the consequences of their sin!
So let us be prudent and in the Word so we can catch that evil before it even gets close!
