Sovereign Lord, Your ways are not our ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than our ways. We may not always understand Your ways, Lord, but they are always prosperous. Your ways are always righteous. Your ways, O God, are holy. Your ways are loving and faithful. We have considered our ways, Lord. We choose Yours instead. Keep us, Your children in this great Nation, and keep our American Heroes from deceitful ways. Lord God, help us to walk in Your ways. Lord, if being obedient to You causes us to suffer, we know we should commit ourselves to our faithful Creator and continue to do good. Amen
come and pray
When my husband, Carl, pursued a relationship with me while we were dating, he was serious about it. He called. He wrote notes. He asked thoughtful questions. He bought me flowers, candy, books, dinner, and other gifts. He spent a lot of time and effort in his pursuit of me.
Way back in the 10th century bc, Solomon recommended that kind of serious commitment when pursuing something elsewisdom. A dictionary definition of wisdom, understanding what is true, right, or lasting, sounds crucial if we want a life that glorifies our holy God.
Maybe thats why Solomon used so many active verbs in Proverbs 2 to describe our needed efforts to gain wisdom. He said, incline your ear, apply your heart, cry out, lift up your voice, seek her, search for her (vv.2-4).
Seeking wisdom takes effort, and Scripture tells us where it can be found: For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He isnt storing up wisdom for Himself; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright (vv.6-7).
Seek God with all your heart. He is the source of all wisdom for your life.
Amen to your prayer.
