It’s Tuesday and I hope your week is off to a fantastic start. Yesterday was crazy productive and I’m hoping to continue that trend.

Stopping to read His Word, as always, has been a great foundation for me. I pray that it has been for you, too.

I’ve been praying about our next reading plan. Initially I had thought to start Bible in 90 Days on the Monday after Easter, but now I’m playing with the idea of Bible in 180 days to give more time for prayer and listening. Will you pray with me that I hear HIS voice in what to do next? Thank you!!

But back to today…. we are on Proverbs 22.

Today’s Reading: Proverbs 22

Using the SOAP devotional method, here’s what I heard this time…

Scripture: Proverbs 22:17-18

Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,

and apply your heart to my knowledge,

for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,

if all of them are ready on your lips.

Observation:

Listen to true wisdom and apply it and life will go well.

Application:

This is so very straightforward and beautiful. He has wisdom to share. He wants our lives to be pleasant. Spending time with Him and following His guidance will yield that, even in the struggles.

Prayer:

Thank you, Father, for your wisdom and for making it easy to access by giving us the Bible. Thank you for being there with great wisdom at every turn.

I’ve really enjoyed this delve into the Proverbs this month. I love seeing so much wisdom straight from you and being reminded of how to apply it. Everything really is there.

I pray that those reading with me see you and hear your guidance in their daily lives, as well. We need you. We love you.

Thank you, Father.
