We Are To Search For Godly Wisdom

 Good parents always want the best for their children. They want them to flourish and prosper, and parents will often try to teach their children the values in life that they themselves have treasured.
Too often, however, the things that are valued by earthly parents come from the fleeting pleasures of this world and pander to the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.
 A reverential fear of the Lord is the first step towards godly wisdom and understanding which alone provides the fulfilment in life we should all seek. We Are To Search For Godly Wisdom with the same determined tenacity that one would search for precious silver or hidden jewels. 
 Life does not consist in the amount of wealth we possess, the popularity we gain, the accumulation of goods, or a powerful position in the community.
 The emphasis on fearing the Lord and gaining understanding of our great God and Savior, is a theme that threads its way throughout the entire Scriptures.
 The more we come to a knowledge of the Holy One and the greater we discover the enormity of His plans and purposes for each one of us and by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord we have been saved and made one  with Him.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, give us understanding hearts, fear of Your great and glorious majesty, and increasing knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The more we know Him and the power of His Resurrection, and the more we fellowship in His suffering and pain, the more we will understand Your eternal character and Your unsurpassed attributes to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
