Christmas has come and gone. Maybe you gave or received a gift that came with instructions. Did you put first things first and read the directions before doing anything else? First things first – it means to sequence tasks so your ultimate goal will be completed successfully.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

Proverbs 9:10

Apply this to your life in 2016. Plan to have a closer relationship with the Lord. You will want to make the right decisions when the tests of life come upon you. Understand that God gives wisdom only to those who approach life with a deep awe and fear of Him, to those who love Him with their heart and soul, and to those who recognize Him as Creator God whose plans stand firm. He will give you understanding and guidance when you show Him the reverence He so deserves.

God is holy. His instruction book is filled with directions to lead you on the straight path. Seek Him daily to receive the wisdom that only He can give. Then intercede for the nation’s citizens and leaders to submit to the sovereignty of the Holy One so that they may come to know Him as Lord and live under the cover of His wisdom.
