For the Lord gives wisdom;
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
guarding the paths of justice,
and He preserves the way of His godly ones.
Prov. 2:6-8
I read these verses this morning
I'm thankful that I know the source of wisdom
and I know that He speaks words of knowledge and understanding
In John 10 Jesus said that His sheep hear and recognize His voice
So often I struggle with hearing
Like right now, my ears are ringing loudly
It's annoying and tends to affect my ability to hear other things
In the same way, there's so much noise, so many voices offering advice, and promoting some form of truth or wisdom
but they can be distracting me from the truth that God wants me to hear
I'm thankful God continues to patiently speak
I'm thankful He gives me His Spirit to guide and remind
There have been times lately when I wondered if I've become numb to His voice
Thankful Jesus' blood covers my sin
Thankful power lies not in my efforts but in His shed blood
Thankful God preserves and protects
Thankful for His unfailing love and His faithful fathering
Thankful that He calls me to a life of integrity, a life filled with promise
Thankful for the hope that one day Jesus will return to take me to my eternal home
Thankful that God's mercies are new every morning
It gives me confidence to face tomorrow
