Daily Bread – February 13, 2023 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) Proverbs 2:6 – For Yahoah gives wisdom; from His mouth, knowledge and understanding. One of the things I most often hear as a pastor is a request for wisdom and understanding from God. Some want wisdom and understanding to make money, others for direction, or for insight to handle a problem. All of these things are good, but what is most overlooked is that the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding we need comes from the Word of God. It is not a last-minute wisdom, or a “hurry-up-and- give-it-to-me” wisdom; it is the wisdom that comes from a conduct and manner of life dictated by the Word of God. It is the wisdom that only comes because one is willing to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4). If we would take heed unto the Word of God as a light shining in a dark place, then we would find ourselves living in the light of God’s presence (2 Peter 1:19). It is there that we would enjoy soul prosperity as a result of an increase in the anointing (3 John 1:2). As our soul prospers, everything else will too. If we will live our lives according to the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then we will discover everything pertaining unto the nature and blessing of God will be ours to enjoy (Matthew 6:33; Isaiah 1:19). This is not a last-minute remedy, or a “90-day-wonder” from a crash course on how to walk in wisdom – this is a way of life. In fact, it is the life of God, brought to us by the Holy Spirit, and modeled by the Eternal Word Who was made flesh – Christ Jesus. The only way to live is by the principles of God’s Word. If you do not live by the light of His Word, then you walk in darkness, and will not be able to see the good when it comes (Jeremiah 17:5-6). Come now, let us walk in the Spirit and live by the Word.
