January 8, 2024 - Proverbs‬ ‭8:13-14

“Wisdom pours into you when you begin to hate every form of evil in your life, for that’s what worship and fearing God is all about. Then you will discover that your pompous pride and perverse speech are the very ways of wickedness that I hate! You will find true success when you find me, for I have insight into wise plans that are designed just for you. I hold in my hands living-understanding, courage, and strength.” Proverbs 8:13-14 TPT

Lord, we thank you for the way you pour out your wisdom to us. Thank you for giving us the book of Proverbs that is full of nuggets of wisdom that will help us live a successful and blessed life. These two verses give us beautiful insight on finding more of you and thus finding success. Help us learn to hate every form of evil in our lives. We want wisdom to pour into us. We want to walk in continuous worship and fear of God. We want to run from sin and towards God. Never let our pride, selfishness, or our tongue lead us into wickedness. Open our eyes to anyplace in our lives where they or any other evil are hiding and help us remove them. Please bring correction anywhere it is needed.

Lord, give us an overwhelming desire to search out and find your wisdom. We want to walk in true success. We want to be a lighthouse that the world notices and is drawn to because of the way you lead us with your wisdom. Lead each of us into the wise plans that you designed just for each one of us. Thank you that you are the amazing God who takes the time to intricately design our lives.

How amazing that wisdom is alive and longs to give each of us insight and lead us into more of you. It works in us and grows us when we press into discovering more of it. Help us search out your understanding, courage, and strength. We need those things in our lives so much every day!

In Jesus name, amen.
