Today God says:
"All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Jesus Christ"
He promises me:
"In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge". (Col. 2:3)
My response to the word:
Jesus is my wisdom. In Him I find all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. It is knowledge in action. I will apply my knowledge of God's Word by walking in His wisdom throughout this day. I realize that my discovery of God's wisdom and knowledge is one of the best discoveries I've ever made.
My prayer:
Lord, Your Word promises me that you will give me wisdom. I ask for it now, in faith, nothing wavering. Thank you, Amen
Today's scriptures:
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Good sense is shown by everyone who follows God's guiding principles". (Ps. 111:10 GW) "The Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people". (Prov. 2:6 GW) "Wisdom finds rest in the heart of an understanding person". (Prov. 14:33 GW) "If any of you needs wisdom to know what you should do, you should ask God, and He will give it to you. (James 1:5 GW)
