Lockdown 176

Lockdown Day 176 - 18 September 2020

Tonight I share with you The Passion Translation of Proverbs 3 because this blueprint for wisdom is profound:

"The Rewards of Wisdom verse 1-4

My child, if you truly want a long and satisfying life, never forget the things that I’ve taught you. Follow closely every truth that I’ve given you. Then you will have a full, rewarding life. 

Hold on to loyal love and don’t let go, and be faithful to all that you’ve been taught. Let your life be shaped by integrity, with truth written upon your heart. 

That’s how you will find favor and understanding with both God and men— you will gain the reputation of living life well. 

Wisdom's Guidance verse 5-6

Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. 

Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go.

Wisdom's Blueprints verse 19-20

The Lord laid the earth’s foundations with wisdom’s blueprints. By His living-understanding all the universe came into being. By His divine revelation He broke open the hidden fountains of the deep, bringing secret springs to the surface as the mist of the night dripped down from heaven. 

Wisdom, Our Hiding Place verse 21-26

My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover discernment. Don’t ever forget how they empower you. 

For they strengthen you inside and out and inspire you to do what’s right; you will be energized and refreshed by the healing they bring. 

They give you living hope to guide you, and not one of life’s tests will cause you to stumble. 

You will sleep like a baby, safe and sound— your rest will be sweet and secure. 

You will not be subject to terror, for it will not terrify you. Nor will the disrespectful be able to push you aside, because God is your confidence in times of crisis, keeping your heart at rest in every situation."
