90 Days of Wisdom: Day 45

A simple man believes anything,
but a prudent man gives thought to his steps
. (Proverbs 14:15)

If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. If you are like me, you are weary of forwarded emails promising you some great reward if you send it on to other people... or emails with outlandish claims (either good or bad) about some political figure. The point is this: let's not be gullible. Don't believe everything you hear.

At the same time, we don't need to be skeptical and view everything with doubt. Instead, we should be discerning. That's what it means to give thought to our steps. Think it through, consider the pros and cons, and then make your decision.
