October 1 devotional

Scripture

Proverbs 24:13-14

“My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short.”

Observation

God is comparing wisdom with something sweet to eat. Honey taste good. Wisdom also tastes good. Finding wisdom is the key to a successful future. My dreams will not be crushed if I pursue and discover wisdom.

Application

I can discover wisdom by:

1) Reading and applying the Bible

2) Reading and applying other books.

3) Having wise counselors.

4) Learning from life experiences.

Obtaining wisdom is a priority in my life. I cannot be a successful husband, father, or pastor unless I pursue and discover wisdom.

Prayer

Give me wisdom. The Bible says if I lack wisdom to ask you for it and you will give it liberally. Give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Give me faith and courage. Show me what to do and then give me the guts to do it.
