NKJV 365

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 216 of 365 Principle: To have a heart for God is to approach life from His perspective (Job 42:1-6; Ps. 1; 19; 63; 73; 119; Prov. 2:1-9; Rom. 12:1-3). Practice: The poetic books record the struggles of men like Job, David, Solomon, and Asaph to gain a divine perspective on their lives and circumstances. As they learned to set their minds on the Person, powers, and perfections of God, their wills and emotions came into alignment with His truth. True wisdom is seeing life from God's side, and this is rooted in setting our minds (meditating) on the things above (Col. 3:1-3). Try dipping into the Psalms and Proverbs on a daily basis and prayerfully ponder what you read. Taken from The Open Bible Proverbs 2:1-9 NASB 1 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you, 2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; 4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will discern the fear of the L ord And discover the knowledge of God. 6 For the L ord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, 8 Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones. 9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice
