Thurs.'s Devo - It's a Love/Hate Relationship

Read Pro. 8:13-21
A true test to see if you fear God is if you hate pride, arrogance, the path of the evil, and those who speak perversely. These are the things God hates and we are to hate the things he hates and love the things he loves. He loves his plan and his wisdom. He has all power to rule over the counsel of our kings and presidents and institute justice through our judges. He rules through all in authority. God loves those who choose to love him back and all show seek him will find him. Wealth and honor, value and righteousness is to those who draw near. God's fruit, his reward, is better than any monetary measure we have on earth. He will lead us down paths of righteousness and in the midst of judgment. He does this for those who love him because he wants us to inherit something overflowing with worth.
Sometimes it is hard to realize how much God is in control of this earth. He doesn't stay in our churches; he rules over nations. And one of the hardest things to get is how much he wants to lavish his kindness and pleasure on us, but he does.
Lord, we open up our arms to receive your wisdom and your treasures that are far more valuable than gold.
