Weekly Prayer and Scripture Focus
Theme
Wisdom is the Principal Thing.
Scriptures for the Week
(All scriptures are from the New King James Version [NKJV])
Proverbs 12:15
(NKJV)
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.
Proverbs 16:16
(NKJV)
How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
Proverbs 4:7
(NKJV)
Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
1 Kings 4:29
(NKJV)
And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.
James 1:5
(NKJV)
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Join Prayer in the Word
Prayer in the Word is a 30-minute conference call where we come together in one accord to seek the Lord in prayer for our families, communities, nation, and each other.
Reflection
Wisdom is not merely information, opinion, or human understanding; it is the gift of God that teaches us how to walk rightly before Him. These scriptures remind us that the wise heart receives counsel, values understanding above riches, and seeks God as the true source of direction. When we lack wisdom, we are invited to ask the Lord with confidence, knowing that He gives generously and without reproach. As we pray this week, let us ask God to form in us hearts that are humble enough to listen, strong enough to obey, and faithful enough to choose His wisdom above all else.
