The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 2:6 (NLT)
6 For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:20-22 (NLT)
20 Follow the steps of good men instead, and stay on the paths of the righteous.
21 For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it.
22 But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be uprooted.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 9:1-2 (NLT)
1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.
2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:10 (NLT)
10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Psalm 119:18 (HCSB)
18 Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wonderful things from Your instruction.
My observation:
This week I will meditate on five scriptures that I highlighted in my prayer journal last year. One of the things I value about reading and studying the bible is that the author is present with me. I have in Jesus the companionship of His presence. I believe these scriptures will show you the way to have a Happy and Blessed New Year.
David was a man who knew what it was to have the presence of God in his life. He understood that a man is a stranger on the earth, and that he needed a road map to help you to know the way. The bible was the road map for David.
Psalm 119:19 (HCSB)
19 I am a stranger on earth; do not hide Your commands from me.
In this New Year I will continue to keep uppermost in my mind and heart our focal verse for today, Psalm 119.18. My goal and my prayer will be that the Lord would open my eyes every day, and that He would keep me on the straight and narrow way.
Psalm 119:21 (HCSB)
21 You rebuke the proud, the ones under a curse, who wander from Your commands.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, my prayer today and every day is that you would open my eyes to see what you have to say to me from your word. Father, I need your guidance to make it through this world. Father, I desire and need the blessings that you give to those who look to you for hope and help. Father, my hands are open to receive your blessings.
Psalm 119:1-3 (MSG)
1 You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by GOD.
2 You're blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him.
3 That's right—you don't go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set.
--
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.
