“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).
There is a powerful force when the heart, mind, and wisdom walk together under God’s direction. Love is what moves our being—without it, the soul sleeps, indifferent to the purpose for which it was created. The mind, in turn, is strength and capacity, a tool given by the Creator to understand the truth. But it is wisdom, coming from above, that unites all this and points us to something greater: to live according to our eternal nature, reflecting the very character of God.
It is this wisdom, revealed in the magnificent commandments of the Lord, that shapes our lives in holiness. It does not erase our essence—on the contrary, it completes the being, transforming nature into grace, understanding into light, and affection into living faith. When we obey what God has revealed, we are lifted above the ordinary. Wisdom guides us to live as children of eternity, with purpose, balance, and depth.
The Father only reveals His plans to the obedient. And when we unite heart, mind, and obedience to the sublime ways of the Lord, we are transformed by Him and prepared to be sent to the Son, for redemption and fullness. May this threefold cord be firm in us, today and always. -Adapted from J. Vaughan. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Eternal God, what beautiful wisdom is Yours! You created us with heart, mind, and soul—and only in You do all these parts align perfectly. Help me to live with purpose and not to waste the gifts You have given me.
Teach me to love with purity, to think with clarity, and to walk with wisdom. May I never separate faith from reason, nor love from truth, but may everything in me be sanctified by Your presence and by Your word.
Oh, beloved Father, I thank You for showing me that true wisdom comes from You. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the source that harmonizes my being with eternity. Your commandments are sacred threads that unite mind, heart, and soul in perfect unity. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
