Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of WisdomNäide

  

September 26

Introduction

Today’s reading begins with a reflection on the value of studying and thinking about God’s Law. It can provide wisdom even beyond that which comes with age and experience. 

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 119:97-112

Reflect

Jewish Scriptures (known to Christians as the Old Testament) reveal two important understandings of wisdom. First, true wisdom comes from God. Second, God’s wisdom is based on the Law that God gave to Moses and the people at Mount Sinai. The psalm writer says that he gains wisdom from God’s laws (verse 104).  In what ways can God’s laws (instructions) provide you with wisdom?

Pray

Almighty God, let my wisdom and understanding grow through studying and experiencing your Word. May I be a careful, patient student of your teachings, that I may serve you with an obedient heart. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those seeking guidance and instruction from the Bible.
