Meditating On Wisdom

This morning my wife and I talked about several scriptures about Yahuah’s (Lord’s) wisdom. They were about how sometimes the unbelievers are more wise in their discerning of good and evil than we believers. Then there was the wisdom of Solomon in understanding who the baby really belonged to and who was lying. And the scriptures in general that speak of God giving us wisdom. There are so many, but here is one that speaks to these collectively.

Proverbs 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

Today, as we are keeping the Sabbath, I think of the wisdom that Yahuah (Lord) has given to us. He wants His children to follow Him and spend time with Him. He is our source, not our jobs, not our businesses, and not our bank accounts. He alone is worthy to be considered in that spot in out heart.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the Living King of the universe. Please send us Your overwhelming provision that we might not have any debt, and plenty to overflow to those around us. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from those that would steal from us what You alone have provided. We need Your mighty hand against the evil that steals and destroys. We ask these things in Yeshuah’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
