Reading: Proverbs 3:1-12

As I prayed (briefly) this morning before reading this passage, my opening cry to God was for help in acknowledging Him in all my ways.

I so want to live each day with an ongoing, increasing awareness of Him.

I desire to live consciously in His presence!

But I fall so terribly and discouragingly far short.

Then I started reading — and in short order came to verse six:

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

What a surprise!

What an encouraging, uplifting confirmation that I had been heard!

Thank you, Lord!

Reading: Proverbs 2:10-22

No, not a heart that’s open to just anything.

I want a heart that’s open and receptive to truth and knowledge and wisdom.

“When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul” (10).

Yeah, like that.

I want my heart to absorb wisdom.

Easily.

And eagerly, too.
