JULY 2 - Choose What Lasts

3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 19:8; Psalm 75; Luke 2

________________________________________

“Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.” — Proverbs 19:8

“At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity.” — Psalm 75:2

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.” — Luke 2:52

Have you ever scrolled through your feed and felt like you're supposed to have your life completely figured out already? There’s pressure to know who you are, what your purpose is, and how to succeed—before you’ve even finished high school. But here’s the thing: God’s Word doesn’t expect you to have it all together right now. Instead, it invites you to grow in wisdom step by step, like Jesus did in Luke 2:52.

Life isn’t about chasing likes or temporary success—it’s about becoming the person God created you to be. And that starts with choosing wisdom.

THINK ABOUT IT

1. Wisdom is self-care: According to Proverbs 19:8, when you pursue wisdom and understanding, you’re actually showing love to yourself. Are you taking time to seek truth, or are you filling your mind with empty stuff?

2. God’s timing is perfect: Psalm 75:2 reminds us that God judges at His appointed time. You don’t have to stress about controlling everything. Can you trust God’s timing, even when things feel slow or uncertain?

3. Jesus grew slowly, and so can you: In Luke 2, even Jesus didn’t skip the growing-up part. He matured in wisdom and found favor step by step. What’s one way you can grow in wisdom this week?

BOTTOM LINE

True growth takes time, and it starts by choosing what matters most—wisdom, trust in God, and becoming more like Jesus.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. Help me to grow in wisdom like Jesus did, to love myself enough to pursue understanding, and to trust in Your perfect timing. Teach me to value what truly lasts. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
