We need to read God’s word for a reason not just to check off a box. Truly ask God to reveal to you something you can use to help people and help yourself.
I love verse 7, it says, “He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.”
It is integrity that makes us appealing to others as we walk with Christ. When you don’t have integrity nobody will listen to what you say.
Verse 9-10 says, “Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair and you will find the right way to go. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy.”
We need our hearts to be changed and filled. God is love and He wants us to love Him and people, and that comes from a loving heart. Our we seeking wisdom and understanding so we can go into the world and live it and teach it? Don’t get caught up wondering if you are doing enough or what God wants, fill yourself with God and let Christ poor out of you.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 it says, “Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
Don’t put pressure on yourself by thinking you need to do more. Open His word and fill up all you need to Glorify God in all you do. This will make the world a different place and we will all see the power of Jesus working through us.
In Proverbs 2:20-21 it says, “Follow the steps of good men instead, and stay on the paths of the righteous. For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it.”
Don’t take short cuts learn from God how to live and live it?
Proverbs 3:1 says, “My child, never forget the things I have taught you, store my commands in your heart.”
When your heart is full of God, God will come out. Amen
