Daily Prayer guide - Friday, March 27 - The Wisdom of God - He does the right things in the right ways!

Praying to the only wise God.

Romans 16:27

“to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.”

Proverbs 3:19

By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;

Job 28:12-13, 23-24

¹² But where can wisdom be found?

Where does understanding dwell?

¹³ No mortal comprehends its worth;

it cannot be found in the land of the living.

²³ God understands the way to it

and he alone knows where it dwells,

²⁴ for he views the ends of the earth

and sees everything under the heavens.

Trying to make life decisions in the midst of a challenging crisis is a difficult thing.  Our decisions matter and there can be many factors that influence those decisions.  Ultimately we know it is important to make good and wise decisions, especially in difficult times.

The truth is, God is the source of true wisdom.   His wisdom is demonstrated as his truth is applied to the physical nature of our world and we are able to make decisions that ‘just work’ in a good and right way.  

All God's acts are done in perfect wisdom, first for His own glory, and then for the highest good of the greatest number for the longest time. And all His acts are as pure as they are wise, and as good as they are wise and pure. Not only could His acts not be better done: a better way to do them could not be imagined. An infinitely wise God must work in a manner not to be improved upon by finite creatures. 

            A.W. Tozer. The Knowledge of the Holy

Psalm 104:24 

How countless are your works, Lord!

In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures

As you pray…

·      Thank God for being a God of wisdom who helps you make good decisions.

·      Ask God to give you faith to trust in his ways and to see his wisdom at work.

·      Pray for our leaders: the president, congress, governors, mayors who are making decisions for our country and communities, to make wise decisions.

·      Pray for doctors and medical providers to make wise decisions that would help bring healing to people who are suffering.

Father, you alone are the source of true wisdom.  We need your wisdom to deal with this current crisis.  Please help our leaders, doctors and us make good, right and wise decisions that would bless others and bring glory to you.  Amen
