The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 9:6-9 (MSG)
6 Leave your impoverished confusion and live! Walk up the street to a life with meaning." 7 If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you'll get slapped in the face; confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins. 8 So don't waste your time on a scoffer; all you'll get for your pains is abuse. But if you correct those who care about life, that's different—they'll love you for it! 9 Save your breath for the wise—they'll be wiser for it; tell good people what you know—they'll profit from it.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 34:7 (HCSB)
The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.
My observation:
Today's verse from the Psalm gives another reason why David had reason to bless the Lord. In this verse it is the presence of the Lord, and his keeping power. In the Old Testament there were appearances of Jesus as the Angel of the Lord. But, when you come to the New Testament you don't see the Lord appearing as an angel because he became a man and lived among his people for a brief period of time. He is now gone back to his Father's house, but he left his people with his abiding presence.
Matthew 28:20 (HCSB)
teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Hebrews 13:5 (HCSB)
Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.
Because of the abiding presence of the risen Christ in your life you are able to live in faith and without fear of anything or anyone that may come against you in this world.
Hebrews 13:6 (HCSB)
Therefore, we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so blessed that I can wake up every day, and be comforted in knowing the Lord is my savior and my keeper. Father, I thank you that every day is a happy day for me because the Lord in me is greater than anything or anyone that will come against me. I can rejoice every day because I am so blessed.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (HCSB)
16 Rejoice always! 17 Pray constantly. 18 Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
