I love how simple, yet profoundly wise, the Proverbs are! Proverbs 24:3-4 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today says this:
3 Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], 4 And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
The Wisdom that is spoken of here is the Word of God! JESUS is the Living Word of God! He is and has all Wisdom! If we truly desire to have a strong family life, then we MUST desire the Wisdom and knowledge that can only come from spending time in intimate fellowship with the Father through His Word and by Holy Spirit Who lives in us. There are no shortcuts to true Wisdom from God. Simply reading self-help books ABOUT God will not do! We must feast on the Living Word, making it our vital necessity, in order to have the Word come alive in us, and to have Holy Spirit reveal to us how we can activate the Word in order to have the results that the Word promises. Remember that when Martha came to JESUS to complain because her sister Mary, rather than waiting on JESUS and His disciples, was sitting at JESUS' feet absorbing His Word, JESUS told Martha this in Luke 10:42:
41 But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part [that which is to her advantage], which will not be taken away from her.”
AMEN! I hope that YOU will choose that better part! Giving the Word of God 1st priority will cause the desire for more of the Word to rise within us! THAT is the key to staying hungry and thirsty for the things of God! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
