Graduation with Wisdom and Understanding - May 12

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—I worship You in spirit, soul, and body. …



“But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Mortals do not know the way to it, and it is not found in the way of the living… Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the air. Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’ God understands the way to it, and He knows its place. For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens…. And He said to humankind, ‘Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding” (Job 28:12-28).



At twenty-two years of age, my firstborn child, Elizabeth, graduates from college in the morning. We’re all very proud of her. And we’re all excited for her on this milestone of great achievement in the journey of her education. We all join with her in praises to You for the provision and guidance all along the way.



You given her a passion for helping people, especially young people; and she’s pursuing her education to become a school psychologist. You’ve already opened the doors for the next season of graduate studies to fulfill her dream. And I pray You keep putting Your thoughts in her mind and Your desires in her heart, to fulfill the exciting plans You have for her (Jeremiah 29:11).



But most of all, I thank You that she knows You. I thank You that though her faith has been tried and tested in many ways through the years of her public education, Your Holy Spirit has also privately educated her in the ways of the Lord. As You continue to establish her credentials to have a voice into the lives she’ll counsel in the public world, may You also continue to establish her faith and strengthen her spirit to always hear Your voice in her own life. May that be the true source of the wisdom she finds and the understanding she shares in her ministry of encouragement and hope. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.



Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
