Devotion:

“The Way of Wisdom” emphasizes the invaluable nature of Godly wisdom in our spiritual journey. Proverbs 23:23 metaphorically urges us to ‘buy’ truth and wisdom, suggesting that they are worth investing in and holding onto dearly. For intercessors, this means valuing God’s truth and wisdom above all else, as they are essential tools for discernment and guidance in prayer.

This verse encourages us to actively seek divine wisdom, especially when faced with challenging situations or difficult decisions.

Colossians 3:16 highlights the importance of letting the word of Christ dwell richly within us. This dwelling involves not just reading or hearing the word but letting it inform and transform our lives. It also points to the communal aspect of wisdom, where teaching, admonishing, and worship are done collectively, enriching our collective understanding and application of God’s wisdom.

Prayer Focus:

• Pray for a deeper understanding and application of God’s truth and wisdom in your life.
• Ask God to provide wisdom generously as you seek His will in your role as an intercessor.
• Intercede for your community, that they may be filled with the wisdom of God’s word.
• Declare the transformative power of Christ’s word in your life, your church, and your community.

Reflection:

• Reflect on how you actively seek and apply God’s wisdom in your daily life.
• Consider ways in which you can encourage others in your community to engage deeply with God’s word.
• Contemplate the role of wisdom in effective intercession and spiritual discernment.

This devotion is tailored to inspire and challenge intercessors to deeply embrace and actively pursue the wisdom found in God’s truth. It encourages reflection on the personal and communal aspects of wisdom in the life of faith, especially in the ministry of intercession.
