God’s Wisdom Never Fails
Psalm 91:5-6 You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
You know it never ceases to amaze me, how when I open the Bible, God has right there, in the next chapter, ready and waiting, exactly the wisdom I need for today.
Just yesterday, I opened God’s Word at Psalm 91. I’ve had a pretty rough travel schedule over the past few weeks. I’ve had a pinched nerve in my neck. I was tired and sore and you know it as well as I do, when you’re physically down, you can be emotionally down too.
You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:1-2)
Just the wisdom, just the encouragement, just the comfort, just the heavenly perspective I needed.
Do you yearn for the wisdom of God? There are so many things that He sets before us, that are way beyond our ability to figure out. Problems that come along, challenges, things that you wish you could figure but you just can’t.
So when you pray, when you read God’s Word for yourself, day after day, God will give you His wisdom. Because He knows you’re seeking it. He can see you longing to see His kingdom come, His will be done on this earth as it is in heaven.
The Bible says that we walk by faith, not by sight. You know, when we yearn for God’s wisdom, when we long to hear Him speak, when we go to Him as Solomon did and ask for wisdom and discernment, it brings joy to His heart and He pours it out on us, just like we asked. It’s who He is. It’s how it works.
God’s Wisdom is ready and waiting for you.
Are you sick to death of being tossed to and fro by the winds and the waves of your circumstances? It’s a terrible thing when you’re going through a tough time and you don’t have something rock-solid to stand on.
Well, let me tell you, God’s Word, God’s wisdom, God’s promises – never fail. If God says that He’s going to do something, He does it. Full stop. End of story.
You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday. (Psalm 91:5-6)
You need never be afraid of our circumstances. You never have to worry about how you’re going to handle something complex, something difficult, something that you really don’t want to deal with, something that’s so complex that it’s beyond your ability to cope with.
Because His promise is that, if in a time of testing and trial, if in a time of suffering or persecution, you ask Him for His wisdom, He’ll just give it to you.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
