Text: Exodus 23 : 13

EXERCISING WISDOM IN THE KEEPING OF GOD’S LAWS

God gave many laws to Israel! Some laws regulated religious beliefs and practices. Other laws regulated social mores. Still others were given to ensure a high standard of justice in the land. How should one keep these many laws of God? A great word of advice concerning the keeping of God’s laws may be found in this text.

“And in all that I have said to you, be circumspect
and make no mention of the name of other gods,
nor let it be heard from your mouth.”
EXODUS 23:13

1. “Be circumspect”

The essence of this word of advice is “prudence”. The following elements may be found in this word:-

a) Good sense

b) Carefulness

c) Practical wisdom

d) Taking heed

God’s laws were never meant to be “mere knowledge”. His laws were meant to be understood and practised in daily living!
