Thank God for Rewards of Wisdom
The author of Proverbs clearly
states the purpose of the book:
To know wisdom and instructions
(Prov 1:2-5). God wants His people
to be wise and skilful in making
moral and ethical choices. And
the first nine chapters of Proverbs
take the form of a fatherly address
to a young son – a divine primer
for learning the fear of the Lord.
Lord, You Direct as we Trust You:
Do not forget My law, but let
your heart keep My commands;
For length of days and long life and
peace they will add to you (Pr3:1-2)
TRUST in the Lord with all your
heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall
Direct Your Paths (Prov 3:5-6).
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord & depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
and Strength to your bones (v7-8)
Dear Heavenly Father, Help me
to learn from Your law & teachings.
Help me Lord to not forget them,
but instead to meditate them
regularly in my mind and keep
Your commands in my heart always.
Trust that even as I seek to do
Your will, You will provide my needs.
And Lord, I claim Your promise
of the blessing of long life as well
as shalom peace in my life. Amen.
Lord, help me to Trust You and
Your ways with all my heart.
Guard me from depending on my
limited understanding of things.
Help me instead to rely on You
& lead me to acknowledge You
Lord in every area of my life.
Thanks for promising to direct
my paths as I depend on You and
seek Your will in all that I do. Amen.
Lord, Your word warns when I feel
afraid or discouraged, it indicates
there’s places in my life where I’m
depending on my own strength.
Right now I purpose to trust You
more and choose to lean on You.
I purpose not to be wise in my own
eyes; but instead to Fear the Lord.
And I choose to lean my weakness
on Your Strength each day. Amen.
