January 10, 2024 - Proverbs 10:20-22

“The teachings of the godly ones are like pure silver, bringing words of redemption to others, but the heart of the wicked is corrupt. The lovers of God feed many with their teachings, but the foolish ones starve themselves for lack of an understanding heart. True enrichment comes from the blessing of the Lord, with rest and contentment in knowing that it all comes from him.” Proverbs 10:20-22 TPT

Lord, put your words deep in our hearts, so our lives will teach others about you. We want to teach others in both our words and actions. This verse says that if we teach others our words will bring redemption to them. We want to live in a manner that does bring your redemptive power into other’s lives. Transform us so that we see the evidence of this promise in our lives.

You say that your Word is the bread of life. Give us a greater desire to dig into your words and get to know them. As we did deeper into your Word, let it lead us into falling more in love with you. Lord, we want to store it within us, so we are able to feed others with it when they are in need. Open our eyes to see and know when and how to use your Word to bring transformation in our lives, our situations, and in the lives of others around us. Above what comes out of our mouths, let our lives be an example of your Word.

Lord, show us how to rest and be content in knowing you. We want to live truly enriched lives. We also know that you long to bless us. Show us how to find your rest in every situation. We can trust you even when life is full of chaos, and everything feels unsure. Teach us how to rest and be content even in those times. Let us be an example to others when we walk that out even when it looks like we should be falling apart. Lord, we thank you for your amazing and wonderful promises. Help us live our lives in a way that releases these promises to us.

In Jesus name, amen.
