> Heartlight Daily Devotional October 24, 2005 > > >The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of >the Holy One is understanding. >--Proverbs 9:10 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >We pursue so many things, but only one pursuit brings wisdom. Paul >reminded the Athenians that God made us to seek after him and find >him (Acts 17). The wisdom of Proverbs keeps leading us back to >"knowing God" and having a deep and reverential awe toward him as >the source of wisdom. Understanding of priorities, needs, purposes, >goals, problems, and issues can occur only when we first recognize >who the Lord is and know him in our day-to-day lives. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy, Majestic, Righteous, and Eternal God. I confess that I know >you so much less than you know me. But your faithfulness in my life, >your power displayed in history, your grace shared with so many >through the cross of Christ, and your promise to bring me home to >you one day sustain me. I want to know you so that my life can be >lost in your will. Not for my glory or gain, but for your praise, I >ask that you make yourself known to me in the things I do today. >Through Jesus I ask it. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/frgdvjg_rwlzrn.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ldtfogz_rwlzrn.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com> The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
