Ask?.... that's it?

This morning I was thinking about what I feed my mind on...          

Proverbs reminds me to seek wisdom 
and that those who find it are not only secure 
but find life easier... 
ref 4:5-9       

and I was wondering.....      

Where do I find wisdom?   
Where do I look for understanding....?   

Well.... The Bible...    

and then   
Yesterday a friend asked me 
if I read scripture for  
information 
or  
inspiration....          

And I realized that often I read it
for Information
my mind set on
- Knowing the story,
- the characters
- and how it fits into the whole of Israel's history
- and God's plan for the world...

Good stuff,
but
not really wisdom...

Hmmm... How would I change up how I read
God's word....?
If I were to intentionally seek wisdom
What would change?

Hmmm....
...ASK....
Ask God to open my mind
to His words,
His thoughts,
His ways

He has given me His Spirit
to teach me ref 1Cor 2:6-16

I think the issue is;
I need to
ASK.....
be intentional...

And then if it is;
- scripture,
- an interesting article on Facebook
- a book
- a movie
He will begin to reveal His ways
His Kingdom values
Food for my soul
to that I might
Live
and grow
and Know
and
BE
His Son
well....

Lord,
I
ASK
for You to open my eyes
I ask
for You to help me to be
Present
to each teaching moment You have for me
today.

Yes.

Thank You.
