Reading:
Proverbs 9:1-9

Sometimes Many times I don’t know what to do.

I’m in one of those frequent times. I feel so simple, ignorant, clueless, and unwise. I lack understanding, knowledge, perception, perspective, and discernment.

I’m a husband. And a Dad. And a businessman. And a Mission Board member. And a School Board member. And a church member.

And each of those areas, I presently feel at a loss.

Then I came to this verse in my reading a few minutes ago:

“Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled” (5).

Me!

Wow!

She’s calling me, I’m telling you.

That’s wisdom calling the simple and those that lack understanding.

Calling me.

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).

[Hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways (Proverbs 8:32)]
