Proverbs 21
The Path of Prudence
Whoever strays from the path of prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.
Proverbs 21:16
Think for a moment about the word prudence and post the first word that comes to mind.
There is more to this…

I have been reflecting on the nearly lost truth that God’s very intention has been to have a holy people. This has been His desire, not mere relationship because there is no relationship with darkness; rather opening a way to His righteousness, not as a way to continue in sin but to enter into real life righteousness so that there can be relationship. This righteousness is in reality, not merely a statement by people that they are now righteous; rather the transforming work of God by the blood of the new covenant by which He makes truly new creations fit for relationship with Him in righteousness.
How does this relate?
When this is true, and God’s people do live in His righteousness, many who God calls will be drawn to Him while those who are perishing see and smell the light and consider in a stench to their sinful ways.
This is where you get such strange occurrences as the root word of this title
Prude
This happens when sinful men have persisted in sin and in their dissipation call good evil and evil good.
