For no other foundation can anyone lay than
that which is laid,
which is Jesus the Messiah.

Proverbs 2
My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within
you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart
to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up
your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And
search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand
the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD
gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He
stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who
walk uprightly; 8 He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the
way of His saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and
justice, Equity and every good path. 10 When wisdom enters your
heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11 Discretion will
preserve you; Understanding will keep you, 12 To deliver you from
the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, 13 From
those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of
darkness; 14 Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the
perversity of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, And who are
devious in their paths; 16 To deliver you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words, 17 Who forsakes the
companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God. 18 For
her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead; 19 None
who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life-- 20 So
you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of
righteousness. 21 For the upright will dwell in the land, And the
blameless will remain in it; 22 But the wicked will be cut off from
the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it. |
Father, I receive your Word today and treasure your
commands within my heart. Give me grace today Lord to walk according
to your paths… narrow and straight. Give me grace to hear and
receive and put into practice your Words of Life. Father, I incline
my ear to wisdom today.. the Wisdom of heaven and Wisdom of grace..
that teaches me to deny ungodliness and turn away from evil.. that
teaches me to live unselfish before you and to have an open heart. I
apply my heart today to understand O Lord.. your ways, your will,
your wisdom, your word. I cry out Father for the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of you.. the spirit of discernment…
that I would know good and evil and that I would shun the evil and
do the good. As a vast treasure that is untapped and undiscovered,
show me the treasure of your Word and your ways. Father, help me to
seek for divine wisdom in all my ways.. to search out your paths as
a hidden treasure.
Father, I commit myself today to you … to seek after you… whether I
feel You or not. Whether I see any visible progress and have any
hint of your activity, by the eyes of faith I know that you are
always working… molding me.. perfecting me… turning all things of my
life into your divine plan and purpose… that I know you are with me.
As I set my heart today to receive your Word, to treasure your
commands, to cry out for discernment, to seek for wisdom as silver,
to lift my voice for understanding, to search for you as hidden
treasure, NOW Father I ask that you would give unto me the very
knowledge of you. NOW Father, I ask that you would grant me the fear
of the LORD, that I would understand what it is to be in awe of you.
Give to me the knowledge of God.. the knowledge of your heart.. the
knowledge of your passion and your mind. Fill my emotions and
thoughts with your emotions and thoughts. I set my mind today LORD
to seek you, to pursue you, to run after you, to obey you.
Lord, let wisdom enter my heart and let knowledge be pleasant to my
soul. I pray and ask you for the entrance of your Word.. the divine
kiss upon your Word… in my heart, so that my emotions and feelings
are changed. Let me hear from you what is knowledge and
understanding … let me see every good path laid before me. Release
to me wisdom that you have stored up for your saints.. thank your
for guarding my life, preserving my way, being my shield… as I am
your set apart one and your upright child. Help me to understand
righteousness and justice… to walk with equity and to choose EVERY
good path. Thank your Father that discretion and understanding keep
me from evil.. they deliver me from the way of evil.. from men who
speak perverse things… from delighting in perversity. Help me to
walk with a clean mind and pure thoughts… thank you for keeping me
from the immoral woman and from those whose ways that are crooked.
Thank you that I do not walk in devious paths or rejoice in doing
evil. Father, grant me to walk in the paths of life.. to dwell in
the land…and to remain blameless.
Let it be so! |
