God is Wisdom (15)

 

God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest path to Himself.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

No matter what stage of life you find yourself in today, you will always be making decisions, making choices, and seeking next steps. Whatever concern is on your mind right now, you can seek guidance and wisdom from the One true Wise God. Isaiah 30:21 says Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

May the desire of our hearts be to have open ears that will hear His voice guiding us. 


Worship the All Wise God

Lord, Your wisdom is so much more than I could ever understand - I fall to my knees in worship of the only One who understands the minutia and the infinitude of this universe! Your thoughts are beyond what I could ever imagine or understand. I long to know You more, to understand even just a tiny bit of Your thoughts and Your ways.


Romans 11:33-36

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Appropriate the truth of scripture as you grow in your walk of faith

Lord, I long to have godly wisdom for everything from the small choices I make daily to the bigger decisions that I am currently facing. Grant me wise counsel and heavenly direction with each step I take. Fill me with your wisdom to live this life the way You would have me live.


James 1:5

 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.


Light - Walk in the light by openly confessing your sins and need for God

So many times Lord, I have walked out ahead of Your direction.  I have relied on my own understanding instead of waiting to hear Your directions.  Thank You for continuing to shepherd me, prodding me back onto the path You've laid out for me.  May my heart lean into Your wisdom, follow Your guidance, and submit to Your direction.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

Know Him more and more as you spend time with Him daily


Isaiah 55:8-11

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.


Father, may I seek You in every moment of my day, and rely upon You in everything. You are the only Wise God!

Our Abba Father (13)

Prayer is more than thoughts and feelings expressed in words. It is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being to God our Abba Father. It is Divine Union. — Richard Foster In the Old testament, the average believer worshiped God from afar. They may have revered Him, praying to Him by His holy name "Yahweh" but they did not throw His holy name around as if He were a buddy, a close friend, or a family member. When Jesus came he spoke often of His Father in heaven, which may have sounded strange to people. They did not call God by the name of Father and certainly not by the intimate, personal name of "Abba" (much like our word daddy). The Lord's prayer starts with a reminder of our close relationship to God: "Our Father, in heaven...." The story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 gives us a glimpse into the Father-heart of our God and how He views us as His children. Remember the story where the son takes his father's inheritance, squanders i...

30 - Man of Sorrows

Man of sorrows what a name for the Son of God, who came ruined sinners to reclaim: Hallelujah, what a Savior! P. P. Bliss The Lord is near the broken hearted. Oh what a comfort these words are when pain runs deep and sorrow fills our souls. The weight of the pain in the world is heavy these days and many of us carry much deeper more personal sorrows as well. When tragedy hits, we cannot rewind the tape, we cannot "fix" what went wrong, and we cannot claim to erase sorrows for friends and family. Jesus can heal a broken heart and He can truly be an empathetic friend, a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. He Himself experienced the depth of sorrow caused by the hands of evil men, the pain of betrayal, physical agony we can't imagine, the loss of friends, the slander of His name. He knows our pain. He can walk beside us in these sorrowful days and He will never leave us. W orship Jesus, the man of sorrows Lord, when I am feeling beaten down, depressed, or suffer...

Alpha and Omega (I am) - 10

Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, he isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.  — Charles Stanley As I write this, it is the beginning of a new year, with all of the resolutions and best intentions to start afresh. Each year feels like the next leg in the race of life and we hear the shots go off and start off the year strong, acting like we are sprinters, but will we maintain this race all the way until the end? Are you feeling fatigued? Energetic? or worn out from this battle? God's Word offers us a fresh start every day as we follow the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega, the God who is beyond time, the One who created time. Whether we are feeling exhausted, like there's never enough time, or refreshed and ready, God is there with us for every season of life. W orship the Alpha and Omega Lord, time is a human constraint that is limited for me, but You were before time began and You will...
