In hindsight, I think sometimes that I must have put my brains in a desk drawer when I chose to think or act in certain ways. It never occurred to me that I would suffer the consequences. Sin is shortsighted and foolish. We can be thankful that when we humbly admit our past foolishness to God, He is patient and forgiving. And we can be thankful that when we look to Him for advice rather than trusting our own shortsighted, self-centered thinking, He promises to give us wisdom.
Wisdom always looks ahead.
