November 3rd – Proverbs 3:6

Proverbs 3:6

I’ve always known God, and from an early age trusted Jesus as my Savior. But I still was always running in circles and going nowhere fast. I had no direction in life, made destructive choices, and wandered in darkness. And it was only when I was tired of being lost and broken that I truly gave it all to the Lord. Life is hard. I mean really hard. But thankfully, we don’t have to face it alone. Because we have a heavenly Father who is always reaching out a hand for His children to grasp. A hand that will lovingly guide, protect, and direct our steps perfectly on the path of life. When we acknowledge God by consulting Him with every decision and honoring Him in every area of our lives, He promises to lead our footsteps to victory. For me some days it’s still one step forward and two steps back. But I know that when I first seek God’s wisdom, I’ll never get lost. And that fills my heart with thankfulness!

October 15th – 1 Timothy 4:12

1 Timothy 4:12

The world today is obsessed with youth. And instead of growing older being seen as a gift, our society fights it tooth and nail. But when it comes to wisdom, the young are usually dismissed for lack of experience. And this was the case for Timothy. As a young church leader, Timothy needed the encouragement he received from Paul to be strong, and influential to all generations by his conduct. And the same goes for us. No matter our age, we are all valuable children in God’s family. Each of us has a specific purpose in the ministry. And like Timothy, we all are to be examples of Christ with our words, actions, love, and faith. So may we seek to display those godly, fruits of the Spirit for all to see. And may we never look down on fellow believers. Because young or old, we are all precious to God, and we are called to present ourselves as godly examples in a fallen world.

February 17th – Proverbs 8:17

Proverbs 8:17

Loving God means seeking a close intimate relationship with Him. That includes coming to Him for all of our needs. And whatever that need may be, when we persistently come before the Lord, He promises to answer. For He loves us with an endless, unconditional love. And out of that great love, when we reach out to Him, God will always be there. Because as our Father in heaven, He loves nothing more than to respond to the cries of His children.  So seek Him. Seek His face, and His presence. And trust that God will never forsake those whom He loves.

Daniel 2:23

When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to kill all the wise men of Babylon, Daniel stepped up. Knowing that it is the Lord who is in full control of everything and everyone, and is the One who gives power and wisdom, Daniel believed God would deliver him. Do you have the faith of Daniel? Do you trust the Lord no matter the circumstance? Can you give thanks and praise to God for His answer before it even comes? God rewarded Daniel for his faith and obedience, and He promises to do the same for us!

October 25th – Ecclesiastes 8:1

Ecclesiastes 8:1

Charles Dickens once said, “A loving heart is the truest wisdom.” Solomon was one the wisest men to walk the earth. Yet he was equally known for his humility, and graciousness. When God offered to Solomon anything he wanted, Solomon asked for understanding and guidance to lead God’s people. That’s how we as Christians should be. When answering Bible questions, discussing the Word, or giving an account of our faith, we should do so with humility and love.
