Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App
The scripture is from Proverbs 3:13-14, “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding. For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.”
The devotion is titled “Jesus promised So Much More” by Darla Noble. This devotion is summarized by material things can lead to greed and getting out of touch with God. When you choose wisdom over wealth, you will be entuned with God. In other words, things the world encourages us to go after are nothing compared to the spiritual wealth that comes from knowing God and living for Him. When we live for God, we will be rich in His blessings and be blessed with God’s protection, comfort, courage, confidence. When we value wisdom over materials, God will make sure we have everything we need, and more.
Reflection: What are some activities and material possessions that might come between you and God? You should ask God to help you have a healthier attitude toward them.
Here was my response: Activities and material possessions that can come between and God are tennis, money, possessions and telling lies and living a fantasy to appear important. It is my intent to ask God to help me have a different attitude toward them.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, We know the wealth of the universe is Yours. Please help us not become fixated on gaining wealth. Help us to realize that the wisdom You provide enriches us for above anything we could acquire. Thank You for taking care of us. We love you. In Jesus’ dear name we pray, Amen.
