The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 12:15 (MSG)
15 Fools are headstrong and do what they like; wise people take advice.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 76:1-3 (NIV)
1 In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel.
2 His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war. Selah
The Word of God for encouragement:
Luke 11:1 (HCSB)
1 He was praying in a certain place, and when He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples."
Luke 11:10 (HCSB)
10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
My observation:
Today's choice word for my meditation is prayer. When I pray I am always mindful of the object of my faith, the one to whom I am voicing my request for aid and assistance. The Psalms gets my mind and heart prepared by reminding me of the greatness, the majesty, and the holiness of God. I am so thankful that God is awesome, able, and available.
It is comforting to know that although God sits high, he is not above looking low. He is a God who dwells among His people. Are there some witnesses who can testify to this affirmation?
There is nothing that is of concern to me that is not a concern to our heavenly Father. If you can say, "Our Father which art in heaven", you can rest in the blessed assurance that He will hear and answer your prayers. If God is your Father, you can ask him to help you.
Luke 11:11-13 (HCSB)
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful for the privilege of prayer, and for the power of prayer. Father, I am so blessed that I have the benefit of being able to take everything that is of concern to me to You in prayer. Amen.
James 1:17 (HCSB)
17 Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (HCSB)
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
