TODAY’S WORD…

Wisdom is radiant and unfading,
and she is easily discerned by those who love her,
and is found by those who seek her.

She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her.
One who rises early to seek her will have no difficulty,
for she will be found sitting at the gate.

To fix one’s thought on her is perfect understanding,
and one who is vigilant on her account will soon be free from care, because she goes about seeking those worthy of her,
and she graciously appears to them in their paths,
and meets them in every thought…
– Wisdom 6:12-16

REFLECTION…

Jesus is Wisdom.
Wisdom is Jesus.

One way of reflecting on today’s passage
is to replace the word “Wisdom” with “Jesus”
…and it will then read like this:

Jesus is radiant and unfading,
and He is easily discerned by those who love Him,
and is found by those who seek Him.

He hastens to make Himself known to those who desire Him.
One who rises early to seek Him will have no difficulty,
for He will be found sitting at the gate.

To fix one’s thought on Him is perfect understanding,
and one who is vigilant on His account will soon be free from care, because He goes about seeking those worthy of Him,
and He graciously appears to them in their paths,
and meets them in every thought.

PRAYER…

Thank You, Jesus,
For always being there for me.

Thank You for being so available
even for a wretch like me.

Thank You for coming into my life, Lord,
because I once was lost
but now I’m found,
I was blind,
but now I see.

Thank You, Jesus.
