It's Better to Maintain Life Than to Repair It
Key Scripture: Proverbs 4:7 – "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
One of the most painful realities of life is realizing that many of the wounds we carry are self-inflicted. Not because God wasn’t faithful, but because we weren’t wise.
God gives us life, health, opportunities, relationships, and resources—but instead of preserving them with wisdom and discipline, we often handle them carelessly. Why?
Because of greed, ignorance, foolishness, and sometimes, simple disobedience.
We buy things we can’t afford, eat in ways that destroy our health, treat people as though they’ll always be there, and make decisions with no thought for tomorrow.
But here’s the hard truth: it’s easier—and better—to maintain life than to repair it.
It’s easier to maintain purity than to heal from soul ties.
Easier to guard your health than to fight for recovery.
Easier to honor a relationship than to mend a broken one.
Easier to walk in wisdom than to fix the damage caused by foolishness.
Proverbs 4:23 says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
God’s Word doesn’t just teach us to be spiritual, it teaches us to be wise. Wisdom is protective. It’s preventive. It saves you from the unnecessary pain of repair.
Yes, God is merciful. Yes, He restores. But why live broken when you can live whole?
Why waste years repairing what you could have preserved?
So today, choose wisdom.
Maintain the life God has given you.
Don’t wait until you’ve lost peace, purity, money, or purpose to realize how valuable they were.
Wisdom doesn’t just shout from the mountaintop—it whispers in the moments of decision.
Ask yourself:
Am I maintaining what God gave me… or will I have to repair it later?
Choose wisdom now—and save yourself the pain later.
