The Christian Education Director of New River Worship Center shares a devotional with the musicians as they prepare their hearts for the Sunday worship service. I sensed that the Spirit desired for me to share that devotional with you. I trust that this devotional will speak to your heart as it did to mine.
Musicians’ Devotion: Solomon, probably the wisest man who ever lived, wrote, “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it costs you all you have, get understanding.” In my daily devotions over the past few days, I have had such a hunger for God and have been asking Him for a depth of wisdom that I have never before experienced. I have learned that the first step is “The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline” (Prov. 1:7). The fear of God involves a recognition that you are accountable to a just and holy God for your every thought, word, and action. So, what is wisdom? Worldly wisdom is the use of knowledge and information. It is based on human understanding and reasoning, but it is foolishness to the Lord. (I Cor.3:19). Godly wisdom is the capacity to see things from the Father’s viewpoint and respond according to Scriptural principles. Ask the Lord today to impart His wisdom to you, and continue to fill yourself up with the truth of His Word so that you can channel it into the lives of others. Head knowledge about God’s truth does not become wisdom until it is applied to everyday life, so make it your ambition to be both a hearer and a doer of His Word. Then rest assured that as you walk with the Lord, you will discover the destiny He has planned for you because the way of the wise will always lead you into the perfect will of God!
