Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs The book of Proverbs is generally ascribed to King Solomon. ...

Dear Abba Father, We stand in awe of your holiness and your wisdom.  You are true perfection!  We are but made of dust.   Help us to be aware that we need only seek you and you will be the power source we need to bring salt and light into our family, work and world.

A fun practice is to start with whatever day of the month it is and read the matching chapter in Proverbs.  There are 31 chapters in Proverbs and eventually this practice will get you through most of the book quickly.  There is so much peace to be found in knowing what the word of God says about different topics.  It is written in short, easy to understand sentences that require no outside interpretation.

Where is your weak spot?  Is there a place that Satan can come in and provoke you to become doubtful or unsure of your faith?  This is the time when we need to exercise our trust in God and that will build our faith muscles.  The more times we prevail by trusting God and overcoming the devil’s lies the stronger our faith will become. 

There are days when we feel like we are a ship upon a stormy sea; or a leaf dancing in the wind. We don’t feel like we have control, we are helpless before the storms that come against us.  Have you ever just wanted a rock to hold onto?  Jesus is that rock!  We can count on Him to be our anchor through the rough and stormy seas.

John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will...

Circumstances may appear bleak, the rain is pouring and the wind is blowing, but we are not alone in our journey.  God is always as close as our next breath.  He is as close as a whispered prayer away.  Take heart, little sparrow, and count your blessings.

The darkness is here to cloud the way and frighten those who do not yet know Jesus.  Let’s help point the way to the Son!
