We
pursue so many things, but only one pursuit brings wisdom. Paul
reminded the Athenians that God made us to seek after him and
find him (Acts 17).
The wisdom of Proverbs keeps leading us back to "knowing God"
and having a deep and reverential awe toward Him as the source
of wisdom.
Understanding of priorities, needs, purposes, goals, problems,
and issues can occur only when we first recognize who the Lord
is and know him in our day-to-day lives.
Prayer:
Holy, Majestic, Righteous, and Eternal God. I confess that I
know you so much less than you know me. But your faithfulness in
my life, your power displayed in history, your grace shared with
so many through the cross of Christ, and your promise to bring
me home to you one day sustain me. I want to know you so that my
life can be lost in your will. Not for my glory or gain, but for
your praise, I ask that you make yourself known to me in the
things I do today. Through Jesus I ask it. Amen.
