Day 1
Build on a Solid Foundation
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7 NIV
Today’s Inspiration: Have Faith in The All-Knowing God “Fear” is a state of mind. You fear whatever you allow to have influence over your life. You respect it. You submit to it. Fear may drive your decision making. Fear may move you toward or away from your goals. For example, when you fear criticism, you allow the opinions of others to influence your thoughts, habits, and actions. Do you fear criticism? Do you fear poverty? At the beginning of his reign, King Solomon decided to give The All-Knowing God direct influence over his life and his kingdom. Solomon believed in The All-Knowing God and desired God’s guidance in his life and daily decision, daily. Thus his “fear of the Lord” is submission. He is saying, “I have faith in the Lord.” Do you have faith? Do you seek guidance daily?
Faith is a state of mind. However, it is not passive. Your mind is active and can be taught to communicate with your creator, The All-Knowing God. This connection establishes awareness and harmony with the universal powers that exist in the environment. Your faith is the link that connects your mind and the mind of The All-Knowing God. Man, in faith, reaps what he sows into the universe, positively or negatively. Solomon built his spiritual foundation on his link. You can also establish a link and flourish through your connection with The All-Knowing God.
What do you believe? Decide today to ‘respectfully submit’ to The All-Knowing God. Do not rely solely on man or yourself. Who do you trust? Solomon learned about faith from his father, King David. David taught him to trust, respect, and prioritize the divine inspiration and supernatural guidance of the Creator above the personal agendas of himself or others. Does the inspiration of your faith come first in your life? The Book of Psalms, partially written by Kings David and Solomon, declares man’s complete confidence in the provision, power, and protection of The All-Knowing God. For you to benefit from the same source, you must learn to relate to the inspiration of The All-Knowing God. “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” (Psalms 1:1-2 NIV)
Both Kings learned, from experience, to trust and rely on the leadership of The All-Knowing God so that they would become and remain successful. They learned to fight through adversity and failure by maintaining faith and a positive mental attitude. Would others describe you as ‘positive’?
Day 1 Prayer
“Blessed Creator, I fully commit my trust and faith to you. I believe you are the source of all wisdom and truth. I believe you have created me for a special purpose. I thank you for life and peace of mind. I seek your guidance and direction today and every day. Guide my steps. I open my mind and thoughts to you. I listen for your voice to lead me and my household to success and harmony. Amen.”
