Finding Strength in God’s Wisdom and Grace

Proverbs 2:10 Because wisdom will penetrate deep within and knowledge will become a good friend of the soul.to your soul

Sin can make people blind to the effects of their actions. When we compromise our standards by acting in a way that goes against God’s heart, and refuse to correct it, we desensitize our ears to hear the Spirit’s wisdom. We all need the gracious help of the Lord. May we always be dependent on him and turn to him when we know we have stumbled, relying on his grace and mercy to pick us up and right our paths.

God blesses the humble, for they are teachable. A woman with a humble heart is able to admit when she is wrong and correct it. We can rejoice in our dependence on God because true knowledge comes only from him. He always knows what is best. What a relief to know we do not carry that burden on our shoulders. God becomes the delight of our souls as we trust him. He alone gives wisdom that leads to life.

It is clear that if you want true insight and understanding, the Word of God is where to find it. Proverbs, in particular, address what wisdom looks like in practical life. It is not always easy to follow the path of wisdom. It will challenge you to think and act differently than you might at this moment. Its purpose is to lead you toward integrity, where you have nothing to hide from others or from the Lord.

 True success comes from living with integrity.

Wisdom is active: it calls aloud and departs from evil. Wisdom leaves a trail and a legacy.

Prayer: Jesus, I rely on you more than anyone else. Your words of life bring delight to my heart. May my life reflect the power of your wisdom, mercy, and grace as I continually surrender to you.
