Job 28:1-30:31, 2 Corinthians 2:12-17, Psalm 42:1-11, Proverbs 22:7
Pray: Lord, may we have today the fervency of the Psalmist in seeking You out. May our souls thirst for You, may we pour out our soul to You earnestly seeking to be found by You. In Jesus' name we ask it, Amen.
Read: In Job we see him asking an important question “From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?” The Bible seems to be abundantly clear that wisdom comes from God. James says, “If anyone wants wisdom he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him.” Job answers his own question in verse 23 of chapter 28 “God understands the way to it, and he knows its place.” I have always heard that wisdom is the living application of God’s word. Let us seek to live what we read today.
Edify: Have you ever been around someone who stinks? Maybe it was just after a workout or sporting event or even worse around something that has died? It is evident by the smell that something has died. We have the opportunity today to be the fragrance of Christ unto God. To be a sweet smelling aroma in the nostrils of God with how we live and love others. Let us not be a stench because of sin, but let us be a beautiful fragrance for our Lord.
Practice: Proverbs tells us today “the borrower is slave to the lender.” If there is a practical way today that you can pay down a debt or repay someone for something that you owe them do not hold off on it any longer.
