Daily Scripture Verse – Proverbs 4:1-6
Proverbs 4:1-6
Wisdom Is Supreme
1 Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding. 2 I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
3 When I was a boy in my father’s house,
still tender, and an only child of my mother,
4 he taught me and said,
“Lay hold of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands and you will live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or swerve from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
The book of Proverbs talks frequently about wisdom. The old statement of ‘Knowledge is power’ rings true through out it. Solomon, one of the most powerful and wealthiest rulers of all time, was known to be one of the wisest as well. He specifically asked for that gift when the Lord asked him what he wanted as a young man. That wisdom was already beginning to show in his response.
Prayer
Lord, Help us to seek your wisdom every day. Let our hearts and minds be filled with the knowledge of the scriptures to guide us through the perils of this earthly place.
Amen.
