The Value of Wisdom


"My son, if you receive my words, and treasure
my commands within you, so that you incline your ear
to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and apply
your heart to understanding, if you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you
will understand the fear of the LORD, and find 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 uprightly; HE guards the path of
justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then
you will understand righteousness and justice, equity
and every good path." Proverbs 2:1-9

Wisdom comes from the Lord alone. When we don't
have godly wisdom, we will not understand true
knowledge and understanding. We can be swayed
by our emotions or by the thoughts of others if
we do not know our Bible. The Bible tells us "if"
we do one thing, "then" we will receive what God
has for us. "If" we recieve, apply, incline, cry
out, treasure and seek, "THEN" we will understand,
find and be protected by God! When we obey, He takes
care of the rest! I hope we will desire "truth,
wisdom, knowledge and understanding" that comes
from knowing God and His word. The Bible tells
us clearly "seek and you will find" so let's start
seeking Him more!
