When given the choice to choose a gift from God, Solomon chose wisdom and became more wealthy in all areas of his life than any other known individual in Biblical times. Proverbs is filled with the wisdom he had acquired such as in Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." and again in 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths."
It would do us all good just to sit down and read Proverbs again and again and allow wisdom to impart into our minds. Choosing wisely in all our ways leads to a life of abundance. Jesus said in John 10:10 that He had come that we would have life and have it more abundantly. He didn't intend for us to barely get by day by day, but with all He came and ultimately fulfilled, He desired our lives to be abundantly blessed as we follow His direction throughout life.
Today you and I have been given another opportunity to make a fresh start in life. We can choose to enjoy today wisely or we can choose to enjoy it haphazardly; either way we are left to face the consequences of our choices. So as you begin your day, I pray you will choose wisely. Choose the wisdom needed for each moment of time and enjoy the blessings God has in store for you throughout your day.
May the end of your day be better than the beginning so when you lay your head to rest at the close of your day, you can proudly whisper, "It is well with my soul."
