The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 22:1 (HCSB)
A good name is to be chosen over great wealth; favor is better than silver and gold.
Proverbs 22:4 (HCSB)
The result of humility is fear of the Lord, along with wealth, honor, and life.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 116:3-4 (HCSB)
3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me, and the torments of Sheol overcame me; I encountered trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, save me!"
The Word of God for encouragement:
Matthew 6:22-23 (HCSB)
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light within you is darkness—how deep is that darkness!
My observation:
It is hard to keep the main thing the main thing. It requires spiritual vision to see life from God's point of view.
Matthew 6:33 (HCSB)
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.
You can know that you have poor spiritual eyesight when the love of things becomes the main thing in your life. We need things, but they should not be our master. The person with good eyesight is the person who has fixed their eyes on Jesus, and put him first in their life.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so thankful that I have the gift of faith that enables me to call you my Father. So then, with that same measure of faith, I can say, "Thy will be done on earth, and in me". Father, I am so grateful that I can look to my heavenly Father to supply all of my needs. What a blessing and a peace I have in knowing that the Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want for anything today or tomorrow. In my Father's house are blessings overflowing with love.
Psalm 23:6 (HCSB)
Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
