Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. Proverbs 8:34
God is speaking. Good words, wise words spoken to us from the book of Proverbs.
Life is a learning process. Every day that goes by can add enrichment to it. God gives us good words for our lives to be enlarged. Wise words that can lead us away from poor choices and wrong directions. Wisdom instead leads us towards His presence and purpose.
One of the requisites for the adding of spiritual knowledge is a teachable spirit. This verse encourages that kind of attitude.
Here wisdom is speaking to us. It is to our best advantage to be alert to hear what wisdom has to say and to be receptive to her message. We can find happiness by listening to wisdom’s pronouncements. We can also be blessed by being constantly on the lookout, watching daily for her. This verse suggests an attentiveness that comes from total concentration on wisdom and her words.
In His multifaceted wisdom (Ephesians 3:10), God has so many things to reveal, unveil and unfold to those who wait upon Him faithfully and attentively. It is as we seek Him, serve Him, and wait upon Him in daily prayer and meditation that He discloses to us ever new facets and perspectives of His limitless wisdom and knowledge.
Ephesians 3:10 “His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,”
Eternity will be a marvel to us. In the other world in which we are bound, you and I will be witnesses to a continuous display of God’s attributes, purposes and nature. Instead of waiting till we all get to heaven to behold the majestic greatness of our God we are invited to begin now.
A quest for knowledge is all we need to get started.
A teachable spirit will keep us going. A daily discipline of Bible reading and prayer communication sets us right at the portals of wisdom. All this takes time, but the advantages of receiving God’s wisdom makes it all well worth the sacrifice.

God is speaking through His Word to us. The more we focus our hearts, our minds on what God has to say we will see His character and purpose. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us in a beautiful way that God’s plans for us are good and not for evil. This communicates His plans are not for our detriment but for our good. God’s Word brings light to our day, enlarges our spirits, builds our faith and increases our wisdom.
It is a good thing.
It is a God thing.
To God be All the Glory,
Debbie (Mills) Booth
