Proverbs 8:22-36
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. (KJV)
Our Father,
Thank you for creating your Wisdom and Word in the very beginning before you brought forth the physical world.
Help us O Lord, to listen to your instruction and by your Holy Spirit help us to apply your teaching and wisdom to our daily lives.
We know that living by your Wisdom and Word, you have promised us your favor. But better than your favor is your love that is available for all of us who are your children through faith in your Son Jesus who is Wisdom and the Word.
Your love sustains us and in the process we seek to be closer to you and our love and thankfulness for you increases.
Thank you Father for the Wisdom and daily guidance that you make available to us through your Word by faith in your Son Jesus and by the counsel of your Holy Spirit
In Jesus Name, Amen.
