The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 19:8 (MSG)
Grow a wise heart—you'll do yourself a favor; keep a clear head—you'll find a good life.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:41-45 (HCSB)
41 Let Your faithful love come to me, Lord, Your salvation, as You promised. 42 Then I can answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in Your word. 43 Never take the word of truth from my mouth, for I hope in Your judgments. 44 I will always obey Your instruction, forever and ever. 45 I will walk freely in an open place because I seek Your precepts.
The Word for encouragement:
John 8:30-32 (HCSB)
30 As He was saying these things, many believed in Him. 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
My observation:
The purpose of the law has always been to set people free. However, to be set free you must realize you are enslaved. Not everyone who believed in Jesus received salvation truth. There were some who did not see the need for salvation because they did not accept the truth that Jesus taught about sin.
John 8:33 (HCSB)
"We are descendants of Abraham," they answered Him, "and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, 'You will become free'?"
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful for the happy condition that I am in since I believed in Jesus, and received him into my heart. Father, I thank you for the work of the Holy Spirit of God in opening my eyes so that I could see Jesus. Father, I thank you that I can truly say, "I once was lost but now I'm found, I was blind but now I see". Father, I thank you for your amazing grace that set this captive to sin free.
