We seek, Lord, for the way of wisdom –
and we find that it is also the way of happiness (Proverbs 8:32-34).
The world seeks happiness in wealth. Your Word teaches us that wisdom is
better than “silver, gold and jewels” (Proverbs 8:10-11). How are we to
find wisdom? We find wisdom when we find Jesus. He is our Wisdom (1
Corinthians 1:30). He is also our Joy. When this world is getting us
down, He says to us, “Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world” (John
16:33).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
