I cannot live without the wisdom of God. Early this morning I was a bit early for a meeting and spent a few minutes reading the Proverb for the day. It was another good day in His book for me.
James 1:5 has long been my mantra, so-to-speak, when it comes to hearing from God. It goes well with leaning on Proverbs as both James and Proverbs acknowledge that real wisdom is held by our God. And He is full of that wisdom, ready to give it out.
So, I share with you just a few of the verses from Proverbs 20 that spoke to this dad, pastor and leader....
5 Though good advice lies deep within the heart, a person with understanding will draw it out.
6 Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?
7 The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.
12 Ears to hear and eyes to see—both are gifts from the Lord.
15 Wise words are more valuable than much gold and many rubies.
18 Plans succeed through good counsel; don't go to war without wise advice.
24 The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?
27 The Lord's light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.
29 The glory of the young is their strength; the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old.
That is good stuff. Almost like going to a big, beautiful buffet and seeing all the mouth-watering stuff that is offered. God wants to feed us on His best and see that we are blessed. Live in it...
