Up earlier……
Proverb 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Body clocks struggling to reset; the hearts desire to get out of bed an hour earlier has taken it’s toll. My body still thinks it is 3:30am, but my hearts desire finally overpowers my body to arise and get back early to my quiet time with God. I miss the early morning distraction-less time in God’s Word. In my prayer time this morning the word wisdom was prevalent. The word wisdom and anything surrounding me are far from synonymous; the only wise words to ever come from my mouth or keyboard are by the grace of God. I am far from “edjumicated”; I only seek God with a humble heart for his grace and wisdom to be revealed to me through His Word.
When you come to grasp the humbling realization that God found you, that you did not acquire the knowledge of God, but you responded to the tug He placed on your heart, it is quite overwhelming. John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. You can’t get to God through endless education, you get to God because you said yes when he came to you. You can get the knowledge OF God on many paths of education, but the heart knowledge THROUGH God is found within. A humble heart that responds and then pursues Him is the heart and mind that is opened to the things of him.
God knows your heart and any reasoning behind any surfaces actions. He knows why you are in church, how you pray and read his Word, or if you do any of them. Be honest with him on the surface and he will reveal himself beneath the surface. You will see truths revealed in his Word that you had seemingly read and skimmed over before. Even where the apostle James spoke of the trials of life, God will bring a deeper understanding to life and the relationship of his Word to and through it. James 1:5-6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. All you must do is to find some time, at any time, and get alone with God. Pursue him with a humble pure heart that seeks to know more of him and be prepared for what he may reveal.
