THE LIVING WATER
DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Friday, December 21, 2018
TOPIC: BENEFITS OF WISDOM (II)
Read: Proverbs 3:1-6
MEMORISE: In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6).
EXPOSITION
The world claims there are many paths to a successful, rewarding life: education, wealth, public recognition, or even service. However, at the end, true fulfilment comes from the Lord, and in following His wisdom. As discussed yesterday, Proverbs says that when we choose to align our heart with God’s truth, we will find favour and high esteem in the sight of God and man (3:4). Not only will we have protection, clear guidance, and intimacy with the Father, we will also receive divine power to walk circumspectly before Him.
Wisdom, which is the ability/grace to understand God’s perspective on situations, and respond accordingly, brings us the strength to stand firm in our faith and choose His way. It also helps us to calmly accept the hardships in our lives. Our sovereign God knows the extent of our difficulties. Out of His love for us, He never gives us more than we can handle and uses even convinced that this is true; they enjoy supernatural peace and will live in the Lord’s favour (Prov. 8:34; Phil. 4:7).
God wants to prosper His people in spiritual as well as material ways. For that reason, His first priority is to increase our understanding of Him. Then as we align our hearts with His wisdom and will, we can apply His principles not just to our finances but to every facet of life. The Lord stands ready to pour out His choicest blessings-power, divine favour, spiritual prosperity, and supernatural peace-on those who draw near to Him and submit to His plan. What are you waiting for?
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, help me to draw nearer to You and submit to Your plan.
2. Lord, grant me increased understanding of You and Your ways, in Your wisdom.
3. Pray for all church leader in our Mission that God should grant them wisdom to lead the Church to the greatest height God plans for her.
