As promised I am going to share with you some work from my new devotional. Enjoy and take heart. I am fasting this week and believing for great miracles! Looking for a publisher and a financial breakthrough. Indeed, my husband makes great money, but he cannot afford to pay my debt. This is something I must do myself, and I know that God has a plan if I put in the work and honor Him. But time is running out. If I don't reap a profit soon I will be forced to send my son to daycare. Even still can't wait to see what God has in store because he has the best plan, and I believe in His promises. In the past He has saved me from addiction and death. So why should I worry? This week I will post on my fasting experience along with more from my blessed devotional! God bless you!
Seeking Wisdom
Wisdom has
built her house;
she has set
up her seven pillars.
she has
prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also
set her table.
S he has
sent out her servants and she calls
from the
highest point of the city,
“Let all who
are simple come to my house,”
To those who
have no sense she says,
“Come, eat
my food
and drink
the wind I have mixed.
Leave your
simple ways and you will live;
walk in the
way of insight.”
Proverbs 9:
1-6 p. 997
A desire for
wisdom brings perfection and completeness, but we must learn to rebuke the
wicked. Foolishness is prevalent in
today’s society but we must learn to hold our tongue and stand firm in our
faith. The wise are treasured and the
foolish rebuked. Wisdom is learned with
a strong faith in the Lord and comes at a price already paid for us on the
cross. Learn to keep quiet in the heat
of foolishness and pride and your reward is wisdom.
My name is pure and just. I desire my children to stand firm in their
faith so that the doors of righteousness open far and wide. Wisdom resides at these doors, and I
graciously await to open the doors to let you in. But you must learn from my words of truth and
wisdom to shut the door on the evil one.
You do this by calling out my name and seeking for truth. The beauty of righteousness is rich in
wisdom. Wisdom resides in the heavens eternally. Make your heart full of wisdom now and you
get a taste of the heavens in all its glory and splendor. But the taste of foolishness narrows your
perspective. Come to me now and desire wisdom. Trust me, I love you.
“Now then,
my children, listen to me;
blessed are
those who keep my ways.
Listen to my
instruction and be wise;
do not
disregard it.
Blessed are
those who listen to me,
Watching daily
at my doors,
Waiting at
my doorway.
For those
who find me find life
and receive favor
from the Lord.
But those
who fail to find me harm themselves;
all who hate
me love death.
Proverbs 8:
32-36
