About this ebook
“How do you feel as a father? Inadequate at times? Overwhelmed most of the time? Yet, the fulfillment of being a father cannot be properly put into words, without experiencing its raw reality. No doubt, struggles in fatherhood are an opportunity to approach your heavenly Father in humble dependence in need of wisdom, faith, and encouragement. God the Father’s character is the example for earthly fathers to aspire to become. I pray that this 30-day devotional helps you to grow in wisdom so that you can love your family as God the Father loves his children.” – Boyd Bailey

What Readers are Saying about Wisdom Hunters:
I would just like to say thank you for offering these daily devotionals. I have been receiving them nearly a year now, and I do not think there has been one yet that has not resonated with me and many, I believe, have changed the course of my day. – Vicki
Perfect Peace
I just started receiving your devotional emails. I have to tell you, each one has hit home in such a divine way. I am experiencing turmoil and hopelessness in my marriage and need to seek God’s peace. I want Him to restore my marriage but am seeking peace either way. Thank you for your ministry. You truly are touching hearts and encouraging God’s people. – Laura
Patient People Wait
How poignant that today’s message was about patience. I pray for this every day, and this devotional encouraged me as I go about my day and struggles with being a divorced mom of two precious children. God bless you for this site. You touch so many of us deeply. – Maribel
This is exactly what I needed to read today. I’ve been praying for God to restore my business, and He has encouraged me along the way. However, at times I grow impatient because He is not working on my time frame. What a great reminder to trust Him, fellowship with Him, and serve others while I wait on Him! – Joel
Follow Him
This word was absolutely inspiring to my life right now. I mean definitely talking about my life right now. I have been struggling for the past few months on my faith due to constant situations seemingly depressing my life, but God has been faithful. He has never left my side, and even when I was at my weakest point of faith He still provided a way of escape. I will follow Him to the depths of the sea because He is just that good to me and all of us. He is worthy of all praises, even in the midst of our trials and tribulations. I thank God for His mercy and grace on my soul, because without it I don’t know where I would be right now! Hallelujah!! – Kenesha
Emotional Suffering
This is so comforting and what sound advice not to make any life-altering decisions while you’re in the dark night of the soul, wonderful word. – Robin
Oh, what an incredible blessing these devotionals are to my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being God’s Voice to me! – Kathy
Pursuit of Wisdom
I thank God for your life and for the wisdom of God you share as a result of your fellowship with Him! Praise and glory to our Father for revealing Himself through His precious Holy Spirit, and I thank God for your life and desire to share with others that the body of Christ may be complete in Him. – Sharon
I needed this devotion, this pep talk today… In the midst of waiting for a job offer (I received a call moments ago for an interview!! Yeah, God!), waiting for a call for jury duty, anticipating the bills to be paid in full and on time, I’m
