Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Lord,
Thank Your for this brand new day. Thank You that Your mercies are new today! I pray that I will use this day wisely to glorify You! I pray that I will be aware of every opportunity I have to share Jesus with those around me. May I shine the light of my Savior brightly.
Here are the 8 characteristics of Heavenly Wisdom, a beautiful string of pearls!
1. It is pure!
“He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior.” ~Psalm 24:4-5
2. It is peace-loving!
“Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.” ~Psalm 119:165
3. It is considerate!
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” ~Philippians 2:3-4
God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course. Give me insight so I can do what you tell me—my whole life long, obedient response. Guide me down the road of your commandments; I love traveling this freeway! Give me a bent for your words of wisdom, and not for piling up loot. Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets, invigorate me on the pilgrim way. Affirm your promises to me—promises made to all who fear you. Deflect the harsh words of my critics—but what you say is always so good. See how hungry I am for your counsel; preserve my life through your righteous ways! (Psalm 119:33-40, MSG)
