Proverbs 8:35-36 (The Message) concludes by saying, "When you find me, you find life, real life, to say nothing of God's good pleasure. But if you wrong me, you damage your very soul; when you reject me, you're flirting with death." For the whole chapter, click here. It's worth reading and applying for sure.
Throughout my life, I have been so foolish in lots of ways. I am tired of creating more problems in my life than necessary. Instead of making decisions out of selfishness, pride, fear, desperation, and ignorance, I want to make decisions based on God's wisdom. The outcome is way better.
I need desperately wisdom as a ...
- Father
- Husband

- Friend
- Son
- Spend money, save money, give money
- Market my services
- Build a career (here in a new place)
- Forgive
- Serve
- Witness to the lost
- Live a life of purpose

My desire is to wake up each day and pursue Christ and His wisdom. Through Christ, we will find life. Seek Him first. Pray for His wisdom to fill you. Trust it's best and leads to life. That's what I am clinging to! I must decrease so He can fill me up!
"Mark a life of discipline and live wisely; don't squander your precious life. Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to me, awake and ready for each morning, alert and responsive as I start my day's work. When you find me, you find life, real life, to say nothing of God's good pleasure." verses 32-35
