(Proverbs 14:22 KJV) Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
Free will allows us to “err" (go astray NASB) (8582) but it implies that there is a built in standard to stray from. We talk about stray sheep but a mountain lion that is hunting in your yard is hunting. Both may be following instinct but only one should know better.
We have a choice in what we “devise” (2790a). The word is used of both directions, evil and good. We are not to use our creativity to plan or develop evil. I think of this as being the conscious goal of our energy.
So? Decide you are going to make a positive impact. Today would be a nice time to start since “today” is all we ever really have when it comes to making decisions.
