“All the flowers would have very extra-special powers. They would sit and talk to me for hours, when I'm lonely in a world of my own.

Within that world of my own I could listen to a babbling brook. And hear a song that I could understand. I keep wishing it could be that way because my world would be a wonderland” - Alice (Disney's Alice In Wonderland, 1951).

Good friend, take to heart what I’m telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life. Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding (Proverbs 2:1-2, MSG).

• Step By Faith:

Father, give us hearts that hunger for Your Word and ears that are ready to receive Your wisdom. Help us listen closely and treasure what You say, shaping our lives by Your truth. Amen.
