The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 10:9 (HCSB)
The one who lives with integrity lives securely, but whoever perverts his ways will be found out.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 34:8-10 (HCSB)
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him! 9 You who are His holy ones, fear Yahweh, for those who fear Him lack nothing. 10 Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
My observation:
When you think about the goodness of God, the child of God can't help but do like David, and burst out in singing praise to the Lord.
There are some things in life that you have to experience for yourself. One of those things is the blessings of the Lord. God has a blessing that is custom made just for you. All of God's children are special in the heavenly Father's eyes. As one of my friends is fond of saying, "God don't make any junk".
Psalm 139:14-16 (MSG)
14 I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! 15 You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. 16 Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.
It is good to end the week reflecting on our focal passage from Psalm. It is good to pause and just think about the goodness of the Lord in your own life. Has God been good to you?
Psalm 34:8 (MSG)
Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see— how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful that I have personally experienced your blessings in my life. Father God, I thank you because I have tasted and seen the goodness of the Lord. Your praise shall continue to flow from a grateful heart all the days of my life. My story and my song is, "God is So Good".
My song:
