Day 151

Father, 

We praise You for the fact that nothing is better than Your nearness. No matter how little or how much we have, no matter how weak or powerful we are, You are always more than enough. And we thank You for giving to us so generously, for blessing us with all we need for life and godliness. 

But like Solomon, we turn to people and possessions to make us feel worthy and loved and strong, and we repent. We repent of ignoring Your commands and worshiping our idols and look to them for hope and comfort⁠—and we repent. Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. 

Would You give us wisdom, God? We desperately need Your wisdom and not our own. In James 5:1, You promise to give wisdom to all who ask. So like Soloman, we humbly ask and we know you’ll give it to us when we ask. So we humbly ask and gratefully receive ALL the wisdom You have for us. And through Your wisdom, each us to handle both wealth and poverty in ways that honor You and point to You.

We surrender our lives to You, Lord and we need Your wisdom in every area of our life—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect and wise will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
