Daily His Delight

Reading:
Proverbs 8:22-36

I so like the sound of that!

Listen:

“Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him” (30).

Isn’t that neat?!

God and wisdom — inseparably together.

God delighting daily in wisdom.

Wisdom daily delighting God.

I want that delight.

How do I develop it?

How do I get it?

Oh, hey! I just thought of another verse:

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5).

Panting for Mud Puddles

The thirsty hart may be so thirsty that he will drink polluted water. But it’s not what he needs. And it may sicken or even kill him.

I understand the enticement of that which is not good for me.

I know what it’s like to try to find pleasure, nourishment, and satisfaction in “mud puddles.”

But it’s all a vain, futile pursuit.

“Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter” (James 5:5).

Such is the witness against those settling for the mud puddles.

Deliver me from that! May I pant after Living Water.
