The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 20:7 (NLT)
7 The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 22:11 (HCSB)
11 Do not be far from me, because distress is near and there is no one to help.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Romans 11:33-36 (HCSB)
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?
35 Or who has ever first given to Him, and has to be repaid?
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
My observation:
I woke up this morning with a prayer of my lips that God would speak an encouraging word into my needy heart.
I can't explain all of the ways of God; I may not be able to give explanations of all of his purposes and plans, but I can live an eternity on his promises.
I had to get to end of the chapter before I discovered the answer to my early morning prayer. My heart leaped for joy when I read the words from the pen of the Apostle Paul. Let these words encourage you in your life. I don't know what each of you is going through, but I know a God who is able to see you through it.
The greatness of God, the goodness of God, and the grace of God is simply amazing. I may not be able to explain him, but I can exclaim him to every ear that will listen.
What shall I render to the Lord? I can worship him, and I can serve him faithfully all of the days of my life.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, as I read your word each day I stand amazed at the grace of God, and the sovereignty of God. Father, truly, there is none like you, no not one.
Father God, I bow low at your feet, and I exclaim with a loud voice, giving glory, honor, and praise to your most holy and righteous name. Lord, I worship you, adore you, and magnify your name. You are God all by yourself.
Father, I pray that your word as I send it out today to my family and friends, that it will bring joy to their heart, and strength to their body, soul, and mind enabling them to keep on being a faithful servant of our great and gracious God. In Jesus name, Amen.

4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered.
