Ask, Seek, Listen.
Scripture
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.” Proverbs 2:6-8
For Further Study: Read Proverbs 2:1-11
Prayer
Lord, Your Word reminds us that wisdom comes from You. We live in a world full of voices, opinions, and advice, and sometimes it can be difficult to know what is true or which way we should go. Help us to remember that we don't have to figure everything out on our own. You are the source of all wisdom, and You generously give it to those who ask You.
Teach us to seek Your wisdom above all else. Give us discernment to recognize what is true, humility to listen when You are correcting us, and courage to follow Your direction even when it isn't the easiest path.
Thank You that You don't simply give us wisdom and then leave us to navigate life alone. Your Word tells us that You are a shield to those who walk with integrity and that You watch over the way of those who belong to You. Help us to trust Your guidance and rest in Your protection.
Lord, make us people who ask, seek, and listen - daily. Give us hearts that are eager to learn from You and lives that reflect the wisdom You have given us. In Jesus’ name - Amen.
