Proverbs 2:1-8...amazing!

'My son, if you accept my words

    and store up my commands within you,

turning your ear to wisdom

    and applying your heart to understanding—

indeed, if you call out for insight

    and cry aloud for understanding,

and if you look for it as for silver

    and search for it as for hidden treasure,

then you will understand the fear of the Lord

    and find the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom;

    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

He holds success in store for the upright,

    he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

for he guards the course of the just

    and protects the way of his faithful ones.'

God loves it when we ask for wisdom. Solomon became King incredibly young and God told him that he could ask for absolutely anything he wanted and he would give it to him. Out of all the things he could ask for Solomon chose wisdom, he recognized that he knew very little about being a leader and having to rule over an entire nation. As a result of such a request, God added on blessing him with wealth and long life, and made him wiser than anyone else who has ever lived. God clearly regards wisdom highly! The amazing thing is that God gives it to us too!

Being back home and sorting through some of my stuff in my room, I found some old bible study notes I used when I was in year 7 (10 years ago!). One of the quotes I found was: 'If prayer lags, then life sags.' Since being back home God's really reminded me in the value of prayer and how He wants to shape my prayer life and the impact prayer can have! Reason no. 660 :)

'Hannah (a lady in the bible) did not wear a mask before God or man, knowing that God isn't shaken by emotions or grief, but actually treasures her cries and keeps  her tears in His 'bottle' (Psalm 56:8).'

On Thursday I traveled back home for summer. My boyfriend came down for a few days as well, which has been truly great :) The weather's been amazing so we've spent time in Hythe, Canterbury, Samphire Hoe, etc. We also went to see my sister's A-level art exhibition - she's so talented!! The past few days have been an amazing way to start the summer holiday and just have a rest :) Reason no. 656 :)
