Seeking Wisdom

Last night I opened up my bible to Proverbs 3 and in following with my daily Bible reading plan I was brought to this chapter. I meditated on verses 1-18 and in disecting these passages I heard the Lord speaking to Henry and I so clearly.

I encourage you to read the passage below:

Proverbs 3 (New Living Translation)

Trusting in the Lord

 ¹ My child,^[a] never forget the things I have taught you.
      Store my commands in your heart.
 ² If you do this, you will live many years,
      and your life will be satisfying.
 ³ Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
      Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
      Write them deep within your heart.
 ⁴ Then you will find favor with both God and people,
      and you will earn a good reputation.  ⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
      do not depend on your own understanding.
 ⁶ Seek his will in all you do,
      and he will show you which path to take.
 ⁷ Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
      Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
 ⁸ Then you will have healing for your body
      and strength for your bones.
 ⁹ Honor the Lord with your wealth
      and with the best part of everything you produce.
 ¹⁰ Then he will fill your barns with grain,
      and your vats will overflow with good wine.
 ¹¹ My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
      and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
 ¹² For the Lord corrects those he loves,
      just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.^[b]
 13 Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
      the one who gains understanding.
 ¹⁴ For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
      and her wages are better than gold.
 ¹⁵ Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
      nothing you desire can compare with her.
 ¹⁶ She offers you long life in her right hand,
      and riches and honor in her left.
 ¹⁷ She will guide you down delightful paths;
      all her ways are satisfying.
 ¹⁸ Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
      happy are those who hold her tightly.

As Henry and I meditated on the verses above, I found myself thinking out loud " Are we going to God with all of our things ( fears, worries, finances, health, work, parenting, friendships, family? ) It's always easier to call a friend  to try "figure out" what our next move will be!

Bottom line, we must put all of our effort into seeking the Lord first, in the small and in the big things. Nothing is impossible for the Lord.

Blessings will come from 1- Obeying His Word and 2- Putting His Word into practice.

I encourage you my follower to meditate on His word and trust Him with everything!

This week I am placing the following things in His hands:

1-Healing for my grandmother Olga Miani who lives in Lima, Peru who has been hospitalized for a month due to having pancreatitis.

2- For more wisdom from God and less of my own understanding!

Be blessed,
