July 8 Scripture Verse for
Today
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. (Proverbs
8:11)
When
a young Solomon became Israel’s king he asked the Lord for wisdom and an understanding heart. Many
would have asked for riches or fame, but not Solomon. He knew what he needed more. God
granted his desire and he is known to this day as the wisest man that ever lived on this earth – besides the Lord Jesus
Christ. I constantly see
people in great difficulty because of a lack of wisdom. Many unnecessary burdens are borne, overwhelming
debts are made, bad habits that ruin health are practiced, and choices that destroy relationships are made – all because
of a lack of wisdom.
Let’s ask God today for wisdom and an understanding heart. There is no substitute!
