God is near to you. He speaks to you continuously. He is trying to reach you through many ways. You have to quiet down and listen. You have to open your mind and you will recognize the truth. God’s word is never twisted or skewed. You need to choose God-knowledge and life disciplines over chasing after money. Then you will realize that God’s wisdom is preferable.
Do you hear Lady Wisdom calling?
Can you hear Madame Insight raising her voice?
She’s taken her stand at First and Main,
at the busiest intersection.
Right in the city square
where the traffic is thickest, she shouts,
“You—I’m talking to all of you,
everyone out here on the streets!
Listen, you idiots—learn good sense!
You blockheads—shape up!
Don’t miss a word of this—I’m telling you how to live well,
I’m telling you how to live at your best.
My mouth chews and savors and relishes truth—
I can’t stand the taste of evil!
You’ll only hear true and right words from my mouth;
not one syllable will be twisted or skewed.
You’ll recognize this as true—you with open minds;
truth-ready minds will see it at once.
Prefer my life-disciplines over chasing after money,
and God-knowledge over a lucrative career.
For Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth;
nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.
(Prov.8:1-11 MSG)
Prayer: Thank you Lord for your persistence and patience with me. I opened my heart to You and You filled it with wisdom and insight. I could never thank You enough. Help me to avoid the traps of wealth and financial problems. Help me to focus in seeking Your knowledge and Your life discipline for me. I love You my God.
