Mon.'s Devo - A Wise Friend

Read Pro. 14: 32-35
Proverbs is the book of wisdom. Verse 33 says that wisdom will rest or settle down in the heart of the person that has understanding. There is something very peaceful about that statement. The only way to get understanding is to read the Bible and ask God for eyes to see. Understanding and obedience bring wisdom automatically. Wisdom cultivates righteousness which raises up a nation. The last verse says that we will have the favor of God if we have wisdom because to have wisdom you had to have read the Word, meditated on it, sought God's ways and lived them. That makes us a friend of God. He is looking for friends he can trust with his secrets and treasures. He doesn't give them to everyone but only those who have proven trustworthy.
Lord, may we seek your understanding and your ways with all our hearts. We want to be found worthy of your friendship.
