The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 6:23 (HCSB)
For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective discipline is the way to life.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 33:20-22 (HCSB)
20 We wait for Yahweh; He is our help and shield. 21 For our hearts rejoice in Him because we trust in His holy name. 22 May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh, for we put our hope in You.
My observation:
The concluding words of this Psalm are a great encouragement to me. I am glad to be able to associate myself with the Psalmist, and with the saints of the ages who have put their trust in God's word, and their life in the hands of the central figure of God's word, the Lord Jesus Christ.
You can never go wrong when you put your hope in the Lord. The words of the Lord that created life are fully capable of redeeming life, and sustaining that life eternally.
This Psalm concludes by pointing out three things that characterize the life of those who trust in and hope in the Lord. The three characteristics are waiting on the Lord, rejoicing in the Lord, and praying unto the Lord.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful for the unfailing love of the Lord for his people. Father God, in Psalm 33 we have seen how you have demonstrated your power in creation, in history, and in the life of your people. Father God, my trust and my hope is in you alone.
Psalm 33:22 (AMP)
Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.
