Gaining more Wisdom
Godly Wisdom, what a wonderful blessing to have! Continue reading the book of Proverbs to find out just what it does for you.
Chapter 2:1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2:turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, 3: and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4: and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5: then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6: For the Lord gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and undrstanding. 7: He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 8: for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones. 9: Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path. 10: for widom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. 11:Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. 12: Wisdom will save you from the way of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, 13: who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, 15: whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways. 16: It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words, 17: who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. 18: For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirit of the dead. 19: None who go to her return or attain the paths of life. 20: Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. 21: for the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it. 22: but the wicked will be cut off from the land and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
