Not Foolishly Feeding On Trash



A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
    while the fool feeds on trash.

—Proverbs 15:14 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Let my appetite for more knowledge of Your will and deeper understanding of Your ways never be satisfied—and may I always be hungry to have more of You in my life.


Don’t ever allow me to think that I know more than I know, but keep me hungry for knowledge—that I might see Your hand in everything that I learn, and discover more about who You are in every moment I live.

And in discovering who You are, help me to see who I am to You—in all the things that You have done for me—so that I will continue to grow into that person who only follows after the Truth and doesn’t just collect knowledge for knowledge’s sake.

Save me from the foolishness of settling for feeding from the world’s trash heap of lies in order to satisfy my heart’s hunger to know more—when You have prepared a feast of Truth for me in Your Word.


Let my appetite for more knowledge of Your will and deeper understanding of Your ways never be satisfied—and may I always be hungry to have more of You in my life.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
