Finding Life

Scripture:

Proverbs 8:35 "For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord".

Observation:

The author is speaking about wisdom. He says that whoever finds wisdom, finds life and receives favor from the Lord. Enjoying life and having God's favor are huge in the Christian's life! We must be people of joy who see the blessings of God on our lives. If we represent the king, we must represent Him well.

Application:

Wisdom must be sought after. It is something you must pursue. It doesn't come quickly or easily, but when you get it, you get life and God's favor on that life. Wisdom in every day life is crucial if we are going to live lives that make a difference for eternity. We must know and understand more and more. God's promise to those who pursue wisdom is awesome. They will receive life and God's favor. When those two things come your way, you are living under the blessing of God which is the only place to be.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to grow in wisdom. I want to be a man of understanding, who walks in great wisdom. Help me to seek wisdom like a precious jewel and to grow in understanding. Teach me to communicate wisely and to walk in wisdom and revelation.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
