Living Today’s Truth ~ Nov 13

Real wisdom comes from finding balance. If you focus only on one thing and ignore everything else, you might become self-righteous, which is a subtle kind of pride, and end up feeling isolated. On the other hand, without limits, life can become chaotic and lead to regret. The greatest joy and resilience come from choosing the middle way. This isn’t about settling for less, but about living with humility, knowing our own limits, and being open to grace. It means being genuine instead of just looking good, and living with courage and honesty. It’s about letting go and trusting a wisdom greater than our own. When you accept that life isn’t just black and white, but full of grey areas, you can use discernment and avoid the traps of pride and foolishness. This is the way to peace and quiet strength, which can inspire others.

Ecclesiastes 7:16-18

“Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them.”
