Seeking wisdom…. (devo reflection)

Proverbs 8:32 “Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.

I pray daily to draw closer to God in my reading, study, and prayer time. What I am praying for is wisdom to know God better, to see Him more clearly, to follow His way more closely. 

Proverbs 8:33 “Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.

I love the way wisdom is personified in this chapter, but for me, what is crucial to remember is that I am not seeking wisdom for wisdom’s sake. I am seeking wisdom to draw closer to my precious Savior so that I can shine His light more keenly.

Proverbs 8:34 “Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for this deep desire to seek You each day, to know You more and better. Help me, always, seek wisdom to draw closer to You. Help me to shine Your Light for all to see. Amen.

Proverbs 8:35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.”

Have a blessed day.
