Get Wisdom!

Scriptures from today's reading  Gen 28:15 NKJV Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” Gen 28:20-Gen 28:22 NKJV Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, so that I come back to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God. And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.” Prov 4:5-Prov 4:9 NKJV Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom.

Psalm 89:2 NKJV For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”

Psalm 89:2 NKJV For I have said, “ Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.” " For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever ." His heart was persuaded of it, and he had affirmed it as an indisputable truth.

Psalm 89:1 NKJV

  Psalm 89:1 NKJV  I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD : Ethan began this psalm with a declaration of praise in song, focused on the  mercies  (from the word hesed, sometimes thought of as covenant love or loyal love) of Yahweh. The great lovingkindness of God lasts forever, so the praise of Him should also be sung  forever . (Guzik) i. This is a psalm with a lot of trouble, but the presence of trouble didn’t silence the psalmist’s praise; he sang of God’s  mercies . “We have not one, but many mercies to rejoice in, and should therefore multiply the expressions of our thankfulness.” (Spurgeon) ii. “We think when we are in trouble we get ease by complaining; but we do more, we get joy, by praising.
