Understanding

Sometimes we have problems with the plan—God’s plan. We misunderstand what he is up to. That’s what happened to the disciples.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Solomon’s teaching on wisdom always leads us back to God’s Word—the source of spiritual wisdom and understanding. There we learn of a God who loves us with unconditional love and embraces us through the sacrificial work of Jesus on the cross. Our union with Jesus changes everything.

In today’s passage, wisdom (personified) cries out in the noisy streets and reminds all who will listen that she is willing and ready to pour out her spirit to all who will listen and respond to her correction. But to those who reject her, terror will strike them “like a storm” and calamity will sweep over them “like a whirlwind” (Proverbs 1:27).

Through trusting in Sar Shalom, you can live in perfect peace. There is no need to let anxiety take you captive. Tell Sar Shalom all that is causing your worry.

Humbly accepting that God is beyond our understanding is the first step for a life of trust and faith.

Real strength can only be found in the Lord of hosts, our God.

When we know God as our Father, certain help is always present with us.

Look up! He is reaching out to you!
