Day 8: I Receive Her Counsel

Wisdom, I am ready to listen. Your voice leads me well.

1. Sacred Invitation (The Opening Posture)

Sit in stillness, perhaps with your hands open in a receiving posture. Speak or write:

Wisdom, I am here to receive, not to control.
I quiet the noise of my own opinions.
I am teachable today. Your counsel is trustworthy.
I welcome your instruction — even if it challenges me.
Speak clearly. I will listen and follow.

2. Scripture Encounter

Proverbs 1:5

“Let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance.”

Proverbs 19:20–21

“Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Proverbs 8:14

“Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.”

3. Journaling Dialogue

Let this be a listening posture. Begin with questions, or finish the sentences:

Wisdom, what would you say to me today about…
Where have I not invited your counsel lately?
I’m willing to receive your thoughts on this situation: __________.
Is there something I’ve been doing in my own strength that you want to redirect?

Even if the page is quiet, trust that Wisdom is present and near.

4. Wisdom Speaks (Prophetic Response)

Hear this as Wisdom responding to your openness:

I do not speak to shame you — I speak to guide you.
My counsel will not confuse you. It will clarify, strengthen, and free you.
You’ve asked for wisdom — and I come quickly to those who ask.
Do not fear correction; it is how I guard your life.
I speak now in small thoughts, in sacred nudges.
Be still long enough to hear — and you will be led.

5. Embodied Action

Today’s Practice: Ask before acting.

Choose one decision you’ll face today — even something small.
Before acting, pause and pray:
“Wisdom, what do you counsel here?”
Wait just 30 seconds in silence. Then proceed with trust and attention.
Bonus: Ask a trusted mentor or friend for advice today — Wisdom speaks through others too.

6. Closing Blessing

I receive the counsel of Wisdom.
Her voice leads me into clarity, not confusion.
I walk in her ways, and I am strengthened by her words.
I am teachable. I am led. I am at peace.

Scriptures Describing the Process of God

The idea that some individuals have a deeper understanding of God's ways and processes is illustrated in the verse which is from Psalm 103:7 : "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel." This distinction highlights the difference between witnessing God's acts (His miracles and interventions) and understanding His character and the principles behind those acts. Here are several scriptures that emphasize understanding God's processes, ways, or principles: Isaiah 55:8-9 : "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."
