Lent
– Day 39 – Two final days of Lenten preparation. Give God your best.
The instruction of the wise is like a
life-giving fountain; those who accept it avoid the snares of death. Proverbs
13:14
Instruction—teaching. That wisdom has to
come from somewhere. A former boss of mine, Dr. Dade W. Moeller, wisely wrote “Guidelines for Life – Rules for Success.” It included “When you are near a
fountain of knowledge, do everything possible to get thoroughly soaked.” Seek
knowledge…seek wisdom. The best place to get spiritual wisdom is from God
Himself—accessed by reading His Word. Then discuss it with other Christians. Sharing
His Words brings forth the wisdom and allows the wisdom to shine forth—let your
light shine.
For God, who said, "Let there be light
in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know
the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians
4:6.
No one lights a lamp and then hides it or
puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light
can be seen by all who enter the house. Luke 11:33.
Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for
all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you. Isaiah 60:1.
Accept the wisdom that God offers us all in
His Word. Are you sitting at His feet—absorbing all you can from His Word?
Prayer
~ How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the
shadow of your wings. You feed them from the abundance of Your own house,
letting them drink from Your river of delights. For You are the fountain of
life, the light by which we see. Pour out Your unfailing love on those who love
You; give justice to those with honest hearts. Psalm 36:7-10.
