“For the Lord has a hidden storehouse of wisdom made accessible to his godly lovers. He becomes your personal bodyguard as you follow his ways, protecting and guarding you as you choose what is right.” (Proverbs 2:7-8 TPT)
God has hidden reservoirs, crystal mountain lakes beyond our view. He guides us through the wilderness, protecting us from unseen traps, showing us the right way to HIM.
Whether we follow HIM is our choice.
Worldliness beckons us to follow its ways--to pursue ambitions and desires, to seek enjoyable experiences, and to rely on our own intellect and abilities. Many who sense their insufficiency look to religion for assistance. They have heard that God is generous and has abundant resources. They attempt to channel some of these heavenly benefits, asking God to direct His resources down to earth in order to make their lives more comfortable. They are not willing to leave the world behind and follow Christ up the mountainous trails. Instead, they expect Christ to come down to their level and attend to their worldly needs.
Lord, make me desire You more than anything else. Grant me the wisdom to do what is right in Your eyes. Give me strength to follow You wherever you lead, to trust in Your guidance and protection, to seek closeness to You above all else. Your way, Lord; not mine.
