Wisdom
is not merely a result of good calculations based on cumulative experiences; it
is a gift from the Almighty. In other words, we may indeed make better
decisions based upon understanding developed over a lifetime, but wisdom is not
limited to our knowledge and understanding. Wisdom has a divine element within
it and can be given to a child or withheld from an elder. No matter our age,
wisdom is vital and thankfully, readily available to those who seek it. Holy
Father, You are the fountainhead of all wisdom. Forgive my failed attempts to
guide myself. In Your tender Mercy, grant me the gift of wisdom as I face this
new day.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
