January 9, 2024 - Proverbs‬ 9:10-11

“The starting point for acquiring wisdom is to be consumed with awe as you worship Jehovah-God. To receive the revelation of the Holy One, you must come to the one who has living-understanding. Wisdom will extend your life, making every year more fruitful than the one before.” Proverbs 9:10-11 TPT

Lord, increase our awe of you. We want to live our lives from a place of worship. From the moment we wake up until we go back to sleep let worship be always on our mind. Open our eyes to see you all around us, moving and breathing life into everything. Let us see how you are weaving everything together to form the most beautiful tapestry called life. Let worship flow from us like the breath we breathe.

Today, we come before the Holy One who has living-understanding. Purify us, show us anything that will keep us from entering your presence. We want to come sit with you at your table and have wisdom imparted to us as we ingest all you have for us. Thank you for how you long to speak to us and guide us. You long for us to grow in you and walk in your wisdom. You have set a huge and bountiful table before us and called us to it. Thank you for your generosity towards us. You are such an astonishing God to serve. We worship you for that and so much more. Help us love you the way you love us.

Yes, Lord! We want to live long and fruitful lives. Help us be bountiful in every area of our lives. Search us and trim away any area that is not producing fruit or growing in you. Be the gardener who prunes us when necessary, so we can grow and be the most fruitful. Help us press into that even when it is hard and painful. We trust you as the perfect and all-wise gardener who knows what he is doing. Help us to fully trust you in this process and lean into what you are doing in us. Thank you, Lord, for caring for us in this manner.

In Jesus name, amen.
