From cover to cover the Bible is filled with wisdom and good direction for our lives. As we read and meditate on God’s word and obey His instructions we will experience a meaningful and purposeful life. This is what Step 11 speaks to when it reminds us, “we sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry it out.”
The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. If you really want to become wise, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. All those who follow his rules have good understanding. (Proverbs 24:5 NLT, Psalm 111:10 NIRV)
When we surrender our lives to God and invite Him to be the Lord of our lives, God doesn’t just give us words and instructions. God’s Spirit comes to live in our hearts. He will teach us about God’s will for our lives and will also give us the power to carry it out. When we put God’s principles into practice we will see that what God says really works. We will grow stronger as our actions reflect the wisdom that fills our hearts. In this whole process.
Not only do we gain wisdom as we seek God's direction and practice His principles in all our affairs but we enjoy the safety, peace and guidance of the Spirit of Truth as well.
Prayer: Loving God, My desire is that You would grant me a willing heart to follow You. Give me understanding of Your word and help me to obey what You say, so I may have wisdom in all I do and say. Amen
