Rich Provision

Written by Boyd Bailey

Thoughts from daily Bible reading for today- June 22, 2012

“Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table” (Proverbs 9:1–2).

Wisdom is the pathway to God’s rich provision. His Holy Spirit allows you to see the common with uncommon eyes, thus coming up with creative alternatives. Wisdom is the Lord’s way of preparing plenty of resources and relationships for you to further His will. He readily sends forth His Holy Spirit for discernment of people and insight into situations.

Therefore, ask the Lord for understanding in what to do and what not to do. When God gives you the green light, go forward in faith, knowing He will provide. He has prepared a place for you, not only in heaven, but also on earth. Wisdom’s preparations are plentiful and pretty. So be patient, do the next wise thing, and watch God work in ways you never imagined. Wisdom is at work on behalf of your work.

“The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper” (Proverbs 19:8).

Maybe He is calling you to worship and community with different followers of Christ. A church built on the foundation of God’s wisdom is the best preparation for your faith and family. Yes, you are best fed in a family of faith where the Word of God is given full attention and examination. Like the Bereans in the early church, you are encouraged to boldly ask questions relating to the meaning of Scripture.

The church is God’s house for prayer and the proclamation of His principles for the gaining of wisdom to live life. Thus, gather wisdom every chance you get, and you will become rich indeed: rich in relationships, rich in character, rich in a robust relationship with Jesus, and maybe rich in stuff. Wisdom is at work on your behalf; so tap into its rich provision.

“For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4 NASB).

Prayer: Where is the wisdom of God preparing His provision that I need to access by faith?
