Daily Devotional: Feel Good Friday Thoughts with Total Apex Media | December 19, 2025
Happy Friday! It’s time for your daily devotion. Some things in life deserve honor. As the Bible says, we are to give honor to whom honor is due. Solomon says wisdom brings you honor; therefore, shouldn’t wisdom be honored? After all, it’s the principal thing.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
In today’s daily devotion, choose to exalt wisdom highly every day.
Exalt Her
Wisdom is to be held in high esteem, extolled, and magnified. Sometimes, we’re attentive to things only if there’s a reward at the end. However, you profit inexplicably from gaining wisdom. But wisdom is to be valued and sought after, not because of what it can give you.
Wisdom should be exalted because it’s from God, and not only does he desire it for you, He has made it available. In Proverbs 1:20, “Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets.” Wisdom shouts for her hearers to listen. God doesn’t discriminate when it comes to wisdom. He offers it to all freely. In your life’s journey, you’ll be constantly learning and growing in wisdom if you allow it.
She Shall Promote You
Wisdom promoted Joseph from a slave to Egypt’s second-in-command. Daniel was a Jewish exile who was promoted to the king’s court in Babylon. Deborah was a prophetess who became leader and judge of her people. Wisdom isn’t only valuable to you individually, but when others see God’s wisdom in you, they value it.
For instance, when Joseph was a slave in the house of Pharaoh’s officer, Potiphar noticed his wisdom and promoted him to overseer of his household. When he was thrown in prison, the warden assigned him to be in charge of the prisoners. In your daily devotion, know that with wisdom, you’ll arise, and not fall.
She Shall Bring You Honor
Joseph was given honor wherever he went because of God’s wisdom. It isn’t the unwise who receive honor, but the wise. In the story of Job, he is portrayed as an upright and blameless man. He gets tested and continues to trust in God, although his friends accuse him of being evil.
In the end, God restores double everything he lost. Then God expresses wrath to Job’s friends who spoke evil against Job. He commands them to make a sacrifice, and afterwards has Job pray for them. In Job 42:8, God tells them that “ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.” God rewarded Job’s wisdom but opposed their foolishness.
Embrace God’s wisdom, even when the circumstances around you seem daunting. Believe that integrity pays off. In Ecclesiastes 7:12, Solomon explains that both wisdom and money are defenses in life, but he makes a distinction for wisdom in that “wisdom giveth life to them that have it.” In your daily devotion, trust that God’s wisdom will be your defense.
When You Embrace Her
You must hold on to wisdom and never let go. When Job’s friends accused him of wrongdoing, he maintained his integrity. His wife told him to curse God and die. Yet calling her words foolish, he continued to trust God. When the enemy tries to deter you from following God’s wisdom, take a bold stand. In today’s daily devotion, say out loud, “I will embrace God’s wisdom, and I’ll never let it go!”
Final Word
In Friday’s daily devotion, those who embraced wisdom were rewarded. You will never go wrong by walking in God’s wisdom. Let today’s daily devotion inspire you to exalt wisdom that she may bring you honor.
