God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to
those who please him….. Ecclesiastes 2:26
God
gives Wisdom, Knowledge and Joy…what great gifts! I’ll take those any time
of the year…not just for my birthday or Christmas. Wisdom and knowledge are
what I long for…what we all search for…and what we gradually get when we study and
in life situations as we live through experiences and hopefully gain something
from those experiences. Some people seem to gain more than others. Why is that?
Do they just learn from their mistakes and successes…or is God giving them a
special gift? Either way…we need to be attuned to our lives in ways that we
don’t repeat our mistakes. I’m preaching to the choir…myself…here. I have found
that I continually need to surrender my anger to the Lord…otherwise it gets me
into trouble. Have you ever found yourself in that situation? I’d rather have joy than anger! The key here is to please God.
Prayer
~ Lord God, I give You my anger and ask that once again as You cleanse my heart
that You would fill me with Your joy…and give me wisdom, knowledge and
understanding that I wouldn’t take back that anger…that I would learn from this
experience.
