“What Have You Asked the Lord Today?”
by Dona Hake
What have you asked the Lord for today? As you pray and seek His help first thing in the morning may I encourage you to speak and ask of Him throughout you day? In this verse that I am sharing it speaks of the attributes of our Living God and He desires that we draw upon them. They are His counsel, His sound wisdom, His insights, and His strength. Let us ask Him and believe Him for these things.
Proverbs 8:14 (ESV)
“I have counsel and sound wisdom;
I have insight; I have strength.”
“I have counsel and sound wisdom;
I have insight; I have strength.”
Consoling isn’t it?…to know that we can draw upon these things from the throne room of God. We all face times in which we may not understand something that is going on in our life or we are looking to understand His Word in greater depth. When we seek to know more, and we ask Him to help us understand, He is faithful to help us. As we search His Word He will help us understand it and apply it to our lives. In those times where things may seem to appear cloudy and difficult…know that He is well able to unfold to you what you need to know. He is able to bring to you the clarity that you need.
1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP)
” For who has known or understood the mind
(the counsels and purposes)
of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge?
(the counsels and purposes)
of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge?
But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah)
and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.”
Praise Him today that as we draw upon His realms of understanding we will begin to understand His Word in a greater way, and see the counsel, wisdom, insights and strength of His heart at work in our life!
