The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Proverbs (3)" Bible Reading: Proverbs 2:1-9 for Friday, 4 November 2016
Proverbs 2:1 My son, if you will receive my words
and store my commands inside you,
2 paying attention to wisdom
inclining your mind toward understanding —
3 yes, if you will call for insight
and raise your voice for discernment,
4 if you seek it as you would silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure —
5 then you will understand the fear of Adonai
and find knowledge of God.
6 For Adonai gives wisdom;
from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up common sense for the upright,
is a shield to those whose conduct is blameless,
8 in order to guard the courses of justice
and preserve the way of those faithful to him.
9 Then you will understand righteousness, justice,
fairness and every good path.

Many times in life we depend on our family members or friends to help us. Most of the time, these people are willing to help us. But sometimes they may fail and disappoint us.
Our Bible verses today remind us that we can depend on God to help us. One way He helps us is to give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. “If you listen to him, you will understand what is just and fair and how to do what is right” (verse 9).
How can we listen to God? By reading His Word, the Bible. When we read and study the Bible, God helps us to understand it. And He also shows us how to apply that understanding to our daily lives.
No matter what happens today, remember that you can depend on God. He is always ready to pay attention to you and help you. Trust Him to give you wisdom, knowledge and understanding.[Barbara Rusiecki]

“I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand. And I tell you, ‘Don’t be afraid! I will help you.’”[Isaiah 41:13]

PRAYER: Thank You, God, for always being willing to help me. As I study Your Word today, please show me how I can live for You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
