Thoughts on Today's Verse...

There are many noble and beneficial fields of academic pursuit. However, as today's Scripture reminds us, true wisdom and the greatest understanding can be found in only one place: a reverential knowledge of God and the acknowledgment of his will with our obedience in all of our ways!

My Prayer...

Lord God, Holy Savior of Israel, and my Abba Father thank you for the grace of prayer and the gift of your truth that leads to wisdom. Thank you for your steadfastness and faithfulness in sharing this truth with us in the holy Scriptures, through our experience of your presence in our lives, and through the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Thank you for your patience as we seek to integrate your truth into our daily lives and seek to live with wisdom. Thank you for your mercy and justice. We place our lives and futures in your hands as we strive to honor you with our obedience and be used for your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
