Today’s characteristic of wisdom is understanding, careful consideration.  It takes time to calculate what is the best route to take to make oneself or situation better.  Once the wise person has pondered this, he or she must be willing to see a period of messiness.

As a wife, I am asking God to help me find the best way to build my house.  I need wisdom as to how to encourage my husband as he is working for our family. I am asking the Lord to help me not become discouraged, as I may see some messiness in our situation.  In our restoration of our marriage, there will be periods of it appearing to be overwhelming…in our faithfulness to God and each other, grace will be poured out on us.

May we all be people of more than just words! It is my desire that Alan and I will remain strong in God and will not lose our resolve. Both of us have the deep down yearning to do what is right; but, we are seeking God for the strength to put in the hard work required. I do know that when we put our hands to the plow, God will enable us to get the work done! In Matthew it mentions Christ’s yoke being easy and His burden light.
