DAY 3

Good morning people of God!!

Day 3 - make sure to read proverbs 3

Focus text

13 Blessed is the man (woman) who finds wisdom,
the man (woman) who gains understanding,

14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.

16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.

17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.

19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in place;

20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.

Reflection: What a powerful scripture. Think about it, you are blessed because you find wisdom. Wisdom is a tree of life. Wisdom yields a return and is profitable. Life grows out of wisdom. Hear the wisdom in our focus text. Wisdom offers growth people of God. Let us look at our decisions and see which decisions have produced growth. Let us look at our responses to others and see which responses have produced growth. Let us look at some of the things we have spent our money on and see if our spending has produced growth.


Wisdom is directly related to growth according to our text. God laid the earth's foundations as a surface to build upon and growth was the result. The reason why we are blessed if we find wisdom is because it offers us the most growth for our time.This is why wisdom sometimes conflicts with our own desires. Wisdom understands where the most growth will come from. And lets face it, sometimes we would rather stay where it is comfortable because growth can be painful and uncomfortable. Don't resist growth. Let us seek wisdom because we want to grow. Grow toward reading the bible more, grow toward loving ourselves and others more, and more importantly grow closer to God. That is the wisest thing we can do. P.S. Please read the entire proverb. The knowledge and admonitions are very healthy. Allow God to open your mind concerning the wisdom available in this text. Pray before and after that God would reveal God's self to you as you study and meditate. God bless you for committing to this Journey. Stay encouraged.

Be Blessed
