Discussing Proverbs 2:1-8
Discussing Proverbs 2:1-8: Solomon talking with his "son" - don't know which one or if it's an address for multiple or all of them...
1- Accept my teaching: Taking that to be true. Is there a process to that? There is one for me... I don't always immediately just agree with what I read. There may be a period of wrestling with or trying to reconcile or rationalize the truth of a statement or concept that gets me to a firmer belief and agreement with that particular issue.
2- "store" up my commands - filing those away in our minds and in a place where I am going to come back to those for applying them to life, circumstance, situations, decisions, etc...
3- Where do we get or hear from "the Lord's" mouth - and as it pertains to knowledge and wisdom...
4- Founding our lives on truths - so that it then dictates the direction of life as we refer back to the foundation.
Proverbs 2:1-8New International Version
Moral Benefits of Wisdom
2 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 indeed, 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;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success 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.
