Proverbs 1:23
“If you respond to my warning,
then I will pour out my spirit on you
and teach you my words.” (CSB)

“Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.” (NLT)

“About face! I can revise your life.
Look, I’m ready to pour out my spirit on you;
I’m ready to tell you all I know.” (The Message)

One thing we don’t have nearly enough of these days is wisdom. Knowledge, facts, information, and artificial intelligence abound. Wisdom offers its assistance, but few invite it to sit at the table.

Its omission is evident.

Its inclusion is a no-brainer. It is readily available. It has been accumulated, stored up, inventoried, categorized, and made easily accessible. Daily applications are essential. Full strength is a good start.

You, being wise as you are, already know there are thirty-one chapters in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. You know it is tucked away neatly between Psalms and Ecclesiastes. You know you can read a chapter a day and learn a thing or two every day for the rest of your life. Imagine learning something new every day that makes you wiser, stronger, healthier, and simply all-‘round better. A proverb a day will do that.

Listen to God’s invitation:

“Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.”

Ignorance is a choice. Wisdom is the much better option.

Let’s get wise, guys.

I will listen to God’s wise heart each day and live what he teaches me.

Our Father, I need your wisdom. I know a lot of stuff. I have a lot of stuffing in my heart and mind. I need your wisdom to make it work right and to achieve the right outcomes. Give me a teachable spirit. Instruct me. Refine what I have captured and make it useful in all I do and become. Amen.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Psalm 9:10 “Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.”

Daily D – Jonah 1:13-16

Jonah 1:13-16 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.

Daily D – Amos 7:12-15

Amos 7:12-15
Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Now then, hear the word of the LORD.

Daily D – Amos 4:12-13

Amos 4:12, 13
“Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”

He who forms the mountains,
who creates the wind,
and who reveals his thoughts to mankind,
who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads on the heights of the earth—
the Lord God Almighty is his name.
