July 7 Scripture Meditations Based on Proverbs 30
Key Verse – Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR SHIELDING ME
Thank You for shielding me from worldly understanding and its vanity
By Your words of truthful verity
That strengthen me of eternity’s certainty…
Surely establishing my faith toward values of eternity.
Thank You for shielding me from ungodly knowledge and its vexation
By Your principles of clear instruction
That uphold me against brutish perilous sanction…
Surely keeping my heart toward Your direction.
Thank You for shielding me from humanistic wisdom and its craving
By Your teachings worthy of learning as well as receiving
That instill in me doctrines for spiritual thriving…
Surely filling my mind with Your precepts toward righteous serving.
Thank You for shielding me from habitual slothfulness and its misery
By Your proddings worthy of diligent story
That move me against indolence-caused worry…
Surely prompting my will toward Your work’s labour-victory.
Thank You for shielding me from humiliating pride and its foolishness
By Your reproofs of humility-meekness’ effectiveness
That abase me against selfishness’ haughtiness…
Surely leading my submission toward Your authority’s graciousness.
Thank You for shielding me from earthly perception and its endeavour
By Your purposes of heavenly fervour
That guard me against temporal ambitions’ savour…
Surely guiding my steps toward Your divine favour.
Thank You for shielding me from carnal convenience and its enticement
By Your exhortations for holiness’ engagement
That drive me against futility’s detriment…
Surely encouraging my soul toward Your rewarding fulfillment.
