Devising Good

Proverbs 14:22 KJV
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

The phrase "devise good" was an attention getter for me today.

The idea of devising a thing sounds like inventing it. It comes from a word that means to scratch, engrave, plough or fabricate.

This good does not exist on its own; it will not exist without
• Thought
• Planning and
• Execution

To devise good would mean to create the circumstances for the good to occur and then to construct the tools to put it together.

To work at good with such effort is an altogether worthy thing.
