Proverbs 3
Wisdom based on God's word through study, prayer, reflection, silence, etc. is indeed profitable. I can say this based on my own life experiencing life change as only Jesus can do. Jesus, in the Beatitudes, gives us this same promise:
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Mathew 5:6
We must also remain in Him. Not only because we can do nothing without Him, but because we hope to avoid getting thrown into the fire.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. John 15:5-6
Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. v13-14

Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:8
My Prayer: Lord, You are an awesome God full of love, compassion, mercy, patience, etc. I am so deeply thankful that I have a God so great! Thank You Jesus. I am not worthy of such efforts. I continue to fall down...in my arrogance, pride, and with my worry. Please forgive me Jesus - help me overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin..and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
