The joy of the Lord is a sweet fragrant gift. Today we receive by this gift and the blessing of His presence.
Let's say together: Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name, Amen.
Father, your family, we, your children are here to receive your word, thank you for the meal you've prepared for us and let your words speak to each heart, Amen.
Let's dine together:
If you've never experienced a Father's love or Mother's love these scriptures and words are for you. I pray it heals the longing in your heart and directs your steps, Amen.
Let's read the answer to the question "But why?"
Proverbs 2:1-6(NLT)
1 My Child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands.
2 Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.
3 Cry out for insight and ask for understanding.
4 Search for them as you would for silver, seek them like hidden treasures.
5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
How to acquire:
Fist it's in His commands, the word of God, the bible.
How do I access it? Tune down the outside and inside noise. Sit in silence with a posture to hear. Concentrate on looking to understand, not to memorize or meet a reading target for the day or month.
When you can't see, ask for insight. Insight is the capacity to gain deep understanding.
Ask to understand the "why's" behind what you see, don't be afraid to ask God questions.
You will receive answers that makes you fear the Lord, which fear is this? It is a reverence, a joyful realisation of who He is, a laughter filled wonder about God. The beautiful adoration of His thought, His wisdom, His mind and His personality.
Always remember wisdom is from the Lord, He grants it. He speaks knowledge (data) and gives understanding (processing of data). This can be applied to every aspect of your life, you can test and see.
I want to bless you with these two scriptures.
Proverbs 2:10(NLT)
10 For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will fill you with joy.
Proverbs 2:12(NLT)
12 Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted.
Let's pray:
Father we thank you for your word, fill our hearts, give us peace and help us to seek you. Thank you for Sweet Holy Spirit who is wisdom herself, help us to listen to her and honour her. We receive your love, Amen.
If you want to know Jesus and be filled with the Sweet Holy Spirit who guides us in all things, say with me:
Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.
God loves you! He blesses you with a Father's blessing and a Mother's love!
