“Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.” Daniel 11:33-35

Lord God, These days in which we live are clearly the last of the days of this world. You are coming soon! Come, quickly, I pray. Until then, Lord Jesus, protect me from the fiery darts of the Devil and protect me from the evil of the day. Send me those who are wise in the faith to help me, to encourage me, redirect me, strengthen me, and support me. Send me those who are wise so that I might stand firm in the faith until the end. Through them, God, make me wise. Through your Word, give me a wisdom that is truly from you. Then, make me a blessing to your church and this world as together we wait for you. Put your wisdom in my heart and then on my lips as I live for you today. Let my words speak the words that make souls wise for salvation through faith in Jesus. Keep me in the faith, Savior Jesus. Make me a blessing to your church, dear Holy Spirit. Amen.

You are wise by God’s Spirit. You are wise through God’s Word. You have good things to say about God and about following Jesus to those around you. Today, ask God to make you a blessing to his church.
