The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 13:21 (HCSB)
Disaster pursues sinners, but good rewards the righteous.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 34:11-14 (HCSB)
11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 Who is the man who delights in life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good? 13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech. 14 Turn away from evil and do what is good; seek peace and pursue it.
My observation:
The featured Proverb for today reminds me of the passage I read yesterday from the Psalms. So I decided to return to it and reflect on it today. In this portion David gives some wisdom instruction based on his personal experience. David was a man who sought the Lord, and found him to be a strong tower which he could run to for help and find shelter during the storms of life.
Psalm 34:4 (HCSB)
I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:10 (HCSB)
Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
There are a lot of wisdom instructions in the Proverbs and in the Psalms, but to do you any good, you must first learn to fear the Lord, and do what he tells you to do. God is a good God, and you can trust him with your whole life.
Proverbs 13:18 (AMP)
Poverty and shame come to him who refuses instruction and correction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful for the blessings that you give to those who fear the Lord, and walk in your ways. Father, I pray that I will have ears to hear, a heart that receives, and feet that are quick to walk in the pathway of truth and righteousness. I pray that I will be willing to follow everywhere my Savior leads me.
