~W I S D O M~
***Means you are marked by having deep understanding, keen discernment, and a capacity for sound judgment***
Read Proverbs Chapter 4
Key Verses: Proverbs 4:20-23…
20 My child, pay attention to what I say.
Listen carefully to my words.
21 Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
22 for they bring life to those who find them,
and healing to their whole body.
23 Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
Wise living brings healing to your entire body. When the choices you make do not fall in line with what the Lord commands, those choices will bring unrest to your soul. Worry and strife can bring sickness to your body. With worry and strife, darkness will cloud your good judgement…
- Seek wisdom; develop good judgment
- Don’t ever turn your back on wisdom
- Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do
- With wisdom you will have a long, good life
- Wisdom brings light
Paying attention to wisdom is what creates health and well-being to your body and to your soul. The way of foolishness brings wickedness, corruption, violence and darkness.
Look straight ahead… Mark out a straight path… Don’t get sidetracked…
Wisdom will guard your heart as you walk through life. Whether you are having a good day or a bad day, the Lord’s wisdom is what will keep you levelheaded in every decision you make. Don’t lose sight of wisdom, let it penetrate deep into your heart.
When your decisions are based on Biblical insight, that is where true wisdom lies. Continue your journey through the pages of your Bible, with every page that’s turned, ask the Lord for wisdom and understanding. As you make decisions based on what the Word of God says, you will see your life take on a completely different trajectory. If you aren’t willing to gain wisdom from Scripture, you will live a stagnated life, a life filled with desires being unmet and the hope found in knowledge will not be found. As verse 4:27 says, “Don’t get sidetracked…” make this year be the year you stay with a plan to gain knowledge and with that knowledge, you will gain wisdom.
Prayer:
Father, You know my heart, You know my desires. As I seek Your Word, I pray that my desires will line up with Yours. Wisdom is what I desire the most, help me find what I am looking for in Your Holy Word. Help me to only look ahead, point me in the direction towards health and long life by obtaining Your wisdom in everything. Amen.
