Pride or peace?

Scientific studies tell decision makers to “follow your gut”. Apprentice winner Sean Yazbeck advises, “Always go with your gut instinct.” To compete for Miss North Carolina, Brittany Akers learned to follow her gut.

“Follow your gut” is common advice. It may be called gut instinct, or an inner voice. It comes from human pride, or a degree of confidence that’s developed with life experience, but I wonder if it comes with peace, or does anxiety remain?

Speaking of Godly wisdom, Proverbs 3:17 says, “Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.” Conclude this week’s lesson “Look to God for Wisdom” by advising class members to seek wisdom from God first since He also gives peace.
