Ephesians 1:
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

DAY 25—Embracing the Wisdom of God's Word

The Bible is full of wisdom, but we must seek it there. When we go to the Holy Scripture aware that we are needy, the Holy Spirit will see to it that we receive from its light and life. One of the greatest qualities in any person is that of hungering and thirsting after righteousness. Another quality is that of knowing we lack wisdom. When we know where to find wisdom, we are blessed, indeed.

Psalms 19:7—The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Psalms 119:129,130—Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. The entrance of Thy Word gives light; it gives understanding ("wisdom") unto the simple.

LORD, help me and these in my family embrace the wisdom of Your Word. I hold these others before You right now. Draw them to love Your Word and to seek its light. I bring them before Your Throne. In the Name of the Lord Jesus, I loose them from this world's wisdom so they might receive Yours.

Discovering the Power of God's Word—Psalms 17:4; 107:20; 119:9-16
