Dear brothers and sisters,
Today's devotion takes us on a journey through Proverbs 1:1–7, Matthew 4:1–22, Genesis 7, Genesis 8, and Genesis 9:1–17—a tapestry that explores the themes of wisdom, temptation, and the covenant God establishes with humanity.
In Proverbs 1:1–7, we are reminded that true knowledge begins with the fear of the Lord. It is the foundation upon which wisdom is built, setting the course for a life marked by understanding and reverence for God.
Matthew 4:1–22 unfolds the account of Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness and His call to discipleship. In this narrative, we witness the power of God's Word as a shield against the temptations that seek to divert us from the path of righteousness. Following Jesus requires not only resisting temptation but also embracing His call to be fishers of men.
Genesis 7, Genesis 8, and Genesis 9:1–17 present the biblical account of Noah and the great flood. Amidst the judgement, we find the promise of God's covenant—a rainbow in the sky symbolising His enduring commitment to creation. It is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of challenges, God remains faithful to His promises.
The verse of the day from Proverbs 1:7 underscores the foundational importance of the fear of the Lord. As we navigate the waters of life, facing temptations and uncertainties, let us anchor ourselves in the wisdom that comes from revering God. May His Word be our guide, shielding us from temptation, and may we find comfort in the assurance of His unchanging covenant. In this journey, may we walk with wisdom, live in obedience, and rejoice in the covenant-keeping God who leads us through life's waters. Amen.
