Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
What of Today’s Verse…
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.
Let us Pray:
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 sustains 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.

Praying for You…
I bless you daily in faith, in love, and in prayer.
My prayer for you, beloved, is that you are always strong in the strength of God, that you are wise with the wisdom of God, that you are rich with the blessings of God.
Most of all I pray that you know the presence of God as your constant companion, that you walk the path of peace, that you live from a heart of love.
My thoughts of you are ones that envision you whole and well, fulfilled and free. There is so much that you have to offer as you give expression to the divine qualities within you.
I trust that your knowing you are held in my heart and in my prayers brings you comfort and joy. I send my love to you in thought and prayer each day. I am standing with you in faith and supporting you in prayer.
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.”—Colossians 1:9
