Reflection 2
It is easy to treat God's wisdom like a buffet, taking what feels comfortable and skipping what challenges us. But ignoring His counsel is also a choice, just a quieter one. And those small daily choices slowly shape the direction of our whole lives.
Reflection 3
So what does choosing the fear of the Lord look like today? It looks like opening your Bible even when you are busy. It looks like humbly receiving correction instead of getting defensive. It looks like pausing to pray before a big decision instead of rushing ahead on your own.
Reflection 4
Do not just admire wisdom from a distance — pursue it. Ask God to give you a hunger for Him that shows up in your everyday habits, one small choice at a time.
Prayer
Dear Lord, give me a heart that treasures Your wisdom above everything else. Help me welcome Your correction, seek You daily, and never close my ears to Your voice. Amen.
