Observation: Like verse 1:3 God is called Jesus' father. I don't often think of that but it is truth nonetheless.
The Lord is the source of "wisdom and revelation". I have readily available knowledge. There are facts and experiments, studies and books out there and those are there for our own discovery and taking. However, there is also secret wisdom, hidden knowledge which God holds and which He reveals at His will, to His children - His sheep, as the gospel according to John says - to the praise of His glory.
The first bit of wisdom that God reveals to someone is that He is God and that we are sinners, which produces fear rightly, for fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Application: Don't let my foundation be shaken when the lost world shouts about their knowledge, education, methods and understanding. God has always shocked and humbled the world with what He knows, thinks, and does. Remember what He has said and told me to do. That is sure, that won't falter, that won't pass away, that won't be found lacking, that will be sufficient for me.
Prayer: I don't know where I fail to trust you at your word, but I want to see it. If I'm lacking faith please show me. "...you have put gladness in my heart more than in the season that their grain and wine increase" (Psalm 4:7). I love you. Amen.
Happy 29th Birthday, Candi!!!!!
