Everyday we have choices before us. It would be interesting to take note of all the choices and decisions that we make everyday. Today I want to encourage your heart in simply meditating upon the truths and power of the written Word. It is as we keep ourselves full of His Word that our choices and decisions will be guided by Him.

 

Within the Word of God is a wealth of testimonies of those that have gone before us. Their lives can encourage us to be strong when fear and weakness are trying to overtake our hearts. The Psalms are full of words to encourage our heart as well. Many of the Psalms were written by those that their lives were endangered yet they chose to call out to the Living God and praise His holy Name! Allow them to escort your heart to praise the living God as well. The Proverbs can serve to bring wisdom to our heart as we may be facing a time of decision making. As we read the New Testament we see and hear the words of our Lord and we also can read accounts of those that walked with Him.  

 

 

 

 

The Proverbs exhorts us to cherish His instruction and knowledge above anything.  We are to value it above anything this world puts a price on.  

Proverbs 8:10-11 (NIV)

“Choose my instruction instead of silver,

knowledge rather than choice gold,

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,

 

In this scripture God is showing us that even the jewels that we could ever possess that are incredibly expensive do not measure in value to His instruction, His wisdom and knowledge. Think about it…NOTHING we could ever desire no matter how wonderful can compare to the worth of His great knowledge and instruction.  Let us be thankful for the written Word of God and take time to read it for it is what we need to keep us strong in spirit as we serve Him every day of our lives.
