Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you.

Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. 17She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying.

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. 26Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. 27Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

Lord God my Father,

Your way leads me to a delightful life, keep me close so I don’t wonder away. Keep my mind still so I can hear your desire above my own, yours is perfect. Protect me from distractions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
