Week 2: Wisdom & Strength

This week wisdom is presented as strength. Sometimes

when we talk about wisdom we speak about it likening it

to intellect or navigating social relationships, but wisdom

is also about strengthening our resolve.

THIS IS YOUR DAILY SCRIPTURE:

Ephesians 1:16-18 (CSB) I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember

you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glori-

ous Father, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowl-

edge of him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that

you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glori-

ous inheritance in the saints,

THIS IS YOUR DAILY PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, I give thanks for my family. I will never stop thanking You

for them. I pray that you will give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in

the knowledge of You. I pray that my children’s eyes of the heart may be en-

lightened so that they may know what is the hope of Your calling, what is the

wealth of Your glorious inheritance in the saints.

PARENT PRE-READING:

Job 12:13 CSB

Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are his.

CONVERSATION STARTER:

I was reading in Job 12 and it says that wisdom and strength belong to God.

Where are places that we sometimes wrongly try to gain wisdom or

strength? How do these efforts sometimes fail?

READ THIS TOGETHER

Read together: Proverbs 2:1-6 (CSB) My son, if you accept my words

and store up my commands within you, 2 listening closely to wisdom and

directing your heart to understanding; 3 furthermore, if you call out to in-

sight and lift your voice to understanding, 4 if you seek it like silver and

search for it like hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of

the Lord and discover the knowledge of God.6 For the Lord gives wis-

dom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
