Daily Prayer for August 7th, 2019
Good morning, God—thank You! 🙂
Wisdom from above is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Holy Spirit, help me to make the best use of my time. Give me wisdom enough to walk in Your will. In Jesus name. Amen.
James 1:5 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Proverbs 3:13-18 English Standard Version (ESV)
Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom
13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.
Ephesians 5:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV)
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,16 making the best use of the time because the days are evil.17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
James 3:17 English Standard Version (ESV)
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
Proverbs 1:7 English Standard Version (ESV)
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
