The foundation of wisdom is reverence for GOD.
2 CORINTHIANS 13:5 (TCEB)
Take a long, hard look at yourself. Examine the state of your faith. Is Jesus the Messiah living inside you? If not, give yourself an F in faith.
THE ESSENCE
Examine your life for indicators of genuine faith and wisdom.
DAILY FODDER
If examination shows that you're lacking, shift your focus onto who God is and what he has done. Or, if you’re on your game, start the whole examination process by looking first at the amazing character of God, and his Son, Jesus the Messiah-king.
PRAYER
Dear Jesus, thank you for making my heart your home. Create in me a clean heart. Examine it. Guide me toward deeper faith. Teach me your ways, so I may grow in knowledge and wisdom. Help me to understand and experience your faithfulness and love. Open my eyes to your work in my life. You are good. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
