Proverbs 9 & James 1

0:00Wisdom establishes before it directs. Welcome to wisdom daily meditation. This is a space to slow down and let God's wisdom establish what urgency cannot. This is your moment to be present as we sit with scripture today. Allow the word to steady your thoughts and gently order your day. Let be and be still and know, recognize and understand that God is God. Now, inhale and exhale. Let's begin. Poverse 9. Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars. She has

1:07prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table. She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city. Whoever is simple, let him turn in here. As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, come eat some of my bread. Drink some of the wine which I have mixed. Leave your simple ways and live. Walk in the way of understanding. One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who removes a wicked man invites abuse. Don't approve a scoffer. Lest he hates you. Reprove a wise person and he will love you. Instruct a wise person and he will be still wiser. He's a righteous person and he will increase in learning. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me, your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased. If you are wise, you are

2:12wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it. The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined and knows nothing. She sits at the door of her house on a seat in the high places of the city. To call to those who pass by who go straight on their ways. Whoever is simple, let him turn in here. As for him who is boy of understanding, she says to him, stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant, but he doesn't know that the departed spirits are there that her guests are in the depths of shia. James one. James a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes which are in the dispersion greetings. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance, let endurance have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks

3:17wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without any doubting for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. For that man shouldn't think that he will receive anything from the Lord. He is a double minded man, unstable in all his ways. But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position and the rich in that he is made humble. Because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away for the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass and the flower in it falls and the beauty of its appearance parishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits blessed as a person who endures temptation for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him. Let no

4:21man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God. For God can't be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and entice. Then the lust when it has conceived bears sin. The sin when it has foregrown produces death. Don't be deceived my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the father of lights with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow of his own will. He gave birth to us by the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. So then my beloved brothers that every man be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. For the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God, therefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing

5:26of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word which is able to save for souls, but be doers of the word and not only hearers deluding your own selves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. For he sees himself and goes away and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law freedom and continues not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work this man will be blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless, pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this to visit the Fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world. Thank you for listening to Wisdom Daily Meditation. If you desire to grow spiritually by staying rooted in

6:32scripture, not rushing the word, but letting it take root, I invite you to continue this practice with us on youtube at youtube.com or slash at the renewal web. There we gather weekdays at 6.30 a.m. Pacific time for our devotional reset, reading the word slowly, returning to it daily and allowing scripture to form how we listen, discern and live. This is a space for nourishment before movement. So wisdom can be received and obedience can be steady. I look forward to meeting you there and may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance towards you and give you peace. Have an amazing day.
