the Bible.
The Wisdom of God
Introduction and Personal Message from Betty
Miller:
I received a commission from God to pen these
devotionals. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done; yet, the
easiest. The hardest, as I had to yield to the discipline of daily devoting two
hours to these writings for the period of 365 days. Yet, it was also the
easiest, as the Holy Spirit met me in my writing studio each evening. As I sat down to read the
scripture for that day's writing (with not a clue as to where that scripture
would lead me in my composition), God would grace me to pen the wisdom that
is contained in the book of Proverbs. The words would just begin to flow,
as the gift of writing that He bestowed upon me, settled softly in my heart. I
knew the knowledge and wisdom I was gleaning from this chapter of the Holy
Scriptures was not just for me, but for the extended family of God, as well.
"The Thoughts for the Day" sometime took
the form of a teaching, a sermon, a devotional meditation, a testimony, and at
times, I felt as if I penned things that were from the very heart of God,
Himself. I felt a gratitude and a need to pray at the end of each page I would
write, so I thought I should include those prayers as well. The Holy
Spirit inspired me to pray simple prayers from my heart that expressed my own
need of change, as well, as asking for the world around me to be changed.
The writing of this book changed my life because
of the treasure of wisdom I discovered in the book of Proverbs. The real
treasure is knowing and loving Jesus, for He is ultimate Wisdom. If you
find just one gem that touches you and brings you into a closer relationship
with Him, then my labor of love will bring me great joy. I will meet you daily
through these postings as you read them; but, I will also expect we shall have
that unseen visitor with us, as this daily devotional book was His idea.
