September 9 - Increase Of Days.

Proverbs 9:11-12
“For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.”

The way we live determines how long we will live. When we live in the Way of Wisdom we are promised more life, and abundant life.

John 10:9-10
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

True Life is found in Jesus Christ. In Wisdom is Life, for Jesus is the Only Way to eternal life. Without Him, we have no life and are a miserable people.

He is the Bread of Life.
John 6:35,48,51
“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst...I am that bread of life…I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

He is the Water of Life.
John 4:14
“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

The amount of godly wisdom we possess is directly proportional to how we yield ourselves to Him through His Word. The less of the Scriptures we follow, the less wise we will be. The more of the Word of God we obey, the more wisdom we will have.

Increase the number of your days by living according to the Wisdom of the Word.
