A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
Proverbs 10:1

There are times when I think I am wiser than I am. There are also times when I an painfully aware of how foolish I am. Either way, God knows the truth. And the truth is I fail to live up to the wisdom of Proverbs no less than I fail to live up to the demands of the Law. And since foolishness is sin in God’s eyes, I not only stand guilty, I fail to make the heart of my Heavenly Father glad. In fact, there are no doubt times when my foolishness is nothing less than a grief to Him.

Here is the incredibly good news!

Just as the righteousness of Jesus is imputed to my spiritual account, so is His wisdom.

Even though we still sin and act foolishly as believers, because of Christ, God sees those who are “in Christ” both as righteous and as wise as Christ—not because we actually are, but because He is, and because we are “in Him.”

Be encouraged, child of God: Jesus has your back! And because of that, the Father sees you and me as He sees Jesus.

THAT is grace indeed!

Stay well. Stay connected. And stay tuned for more,
