‘Wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future
hope for you’ (Proverbs 24:14). Lord, we read what Your Word says to us
about wisdom, and wonder, ” How do we find wisdom?” You tell us to read
Your written Word and to seek Your promised blessing: ‘The law of the
Lord is perfect and revives the soul. The Lord’s instruction never
fails. and makes the simple wise’. As we read Your written Word, keeping
our eyes fixed on Christ, the living ‘Word’ of God’, we discover that
He is the ‘Wisdom’ which is ‘sweeter than honey’and we rejoice in Him,
our ‘Hope of glory’ – ‘You believe in Him and are filled with an
inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your
faith, the salvation of your souls’ (John 1:1-2,14; 1 Corinthians 1:30;
Psalm 19:7,10; Colossians 1:27; 1 Peter 1:8). When, Lord, we ‘ask You’
God’ for ‘wisdom’, help us to remember Your promise: ‘Seek and you will
find’ (James 1:5-8; Matthew 7:7).
Often, Lord, we feel like David - facing Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Everything seems too much for us. Was Goliath too much for David? He wasn't too much for You - and You were on David's side. We're not alone. Help us to remember this. When we feel weak, help us to remember that You are strong - and Your strength has been given to us. Thank You, Lord.
