Today's Scripture Passage: Proverbs 8:1-21
Wisdom's Call
“ 1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? 2 On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3 beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud: 4 To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. 5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding. 6 Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. 7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. 8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. 9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. 12I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. 13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behaviour and perverse speech. 14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power. 15 By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just; 16 by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth. 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. 18 With me are riches and honour, enduring wealth and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than finegold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, 21 bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full. “
Today’s Scripture Message:
Confusion is the master of failure. Distraction is certain defeat. In adversity and troubled times, keep your head, focus and continue to move forward to reach your goal. Everyone around you may not understand and may not see things as you do, but when you know in your heart what must be done, continue in faith until there is no question of your intention. Adversities come 10 fold when you are on the right path. Cement your feet in the wisdom and knowledge of your guide and proceed in courage, faith and joy knowing our Lord is with you and His guidance never fails. In your jungle, He is the compass that will see you through.
Please pray with us, Father, we thank and praise you for this day. We are amidst enemies on all sides and we thank you for allowing our heart to remember all the adversities you've seen us through. We rejoice in knowing through everything, you our Father hold our hands and guide us through. We praise you for calming our thoughts and for always directing us to the promises of your Word. They are our foundation, our faith, our joy, our clarity, our courage and our guide. Thank you for seeing us through troubled times, you have never failed us and we know you never will. Thank you Father for keeping us safe and focused, in Jesus' name, Amen.
