Proverbs 2:1-8
My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD
And discover the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
{{{{ receiving GOD’s word and binding them in your mind and heart.
As something of great worth or value,
As a collection of precious things,
To Cherish, honor to love to show love for,
To have great desire and compassion for,
To obey without regret for dread.
This is how you discern, understand and know who GOD is,
and what He is capable of,
And by doing so understand the fear of God.
The fear of the Lord.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones. }}}}
Proverbs 2:9-22
Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course.
For wisdom will enter your heart
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
Discretion (good judgment) will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things;
From those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness;
Who delight in doing evil and rejoice in the perversity of evil;
Whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways;
To deliver you from the strange woman,
from the adulteress who flatters with her words;
That leaves the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;
For her house sinks down to death and her tracks lead to the dead;
None who go to her return again, nor do they reach the paths of life.
So, you will walk in the way of good men
And keep to the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will live in the land
And the blameless will remain in it;
But the wicked will be cut off from the land
And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
{{{{ By binding the word of God in your heart as wealth and a great treasure, knowing the fear of God as to who He is and what He is capable of doing,
Holding fast to His instructions and teachings, He will give you wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
This wisdom, understanding and knowledge cannot come by way of the world,
It cannot come by way of worldly ways thoughts or teachings.
True wisdom, understanding and knowledge can only come by way of the word of GOD,
By knowing His words, teachings and commandments,
By fearing the Lord your God to go beyond just knowing of them,
to the point of obeying His teachings and commandments,
acknowledging them as a great treasure. }}}}
Living a life of self-shows a life that does not fear the Lord God,
A life that has not the wealth of wisdom, understanding nor knowledge
You cannot serve two masters.
And as we have read only the foolish reject the love of Christ our Lord.
Want to find peace and security?
Then pursuing wisdom from God.
And gain true and great security.
