Wisdom, hmm...
My reading for yesterday and today has been Proverbs 8 and 9. Both are about wisdom. Now there is something that has been lacking in my life. That is something that is changing. I have been trying to live by my own wisdom and it has nearly destroyed me. Now, I spend time reading His Word daily. Also, I spend time in prayer, not as much as I should, but I'm getting better.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. This is the verse that stands out to me today. I would be wise, so I must fear God. I would understand, so I must increase my knowledge of Him.
That is the first step in my search for righteousness.
1) Daily time with the Word and prayer
Everyone put a pin in your roadmap. That is the first landmark.
"Father, I have leaned on my own understanding. Doing so, I have wrecked my life. Lord, I ask your forgiveness and your guidance. I also ask for the wisdom to follow that guidance. You lay out a clear, concise roadmap that we ignore at our own peril. Yet, even so, we often go blindly on ignoring you and your word. Lord, direct me in the correct path that I might be in your will and touch those around me for you. Amen."

You're right, Uncle. May God forgive us for our constant "arresting of the steering wheel" so to speak. "My children are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Thanks for speaking the plain truth delivered to you from God. Oft it is that which is spoken plainly that strikes deeper than a flourishing of words. That is the true beauty of the Scriptures. May we learn to obey and trust Him more. God bless. Love you.
