Moral Benefits of Wisdom

Proverbs 2:1-5 places a strong emphasis on your personal effort to reach for God. God only comes to us as close as we come to him. And fortunately for us, we can never become too close to God. We must look for God's Wisdom as if it were of great value, simply because it is.

Proverbs 2:6-8 Only God can grant a person Wisdom if they are seen fit to God to be entrusted with such a valuable asset.

Proverbs 2:9-15 Is pretty straight forward. Wisdom is what allows you to walk in the way of the Lord, thus become even closer to him. 

Proverbs 2:16-19 The adulteress can be seen as the personification of Lust to some. Or perhaps as a symbol of sin and it's temptations in general. In short, don't fall for her.

Prologue:Purpose and Theme

Proverbs 1:1-7 Is pretty straight forward, it is simply telling the reader as clearly as possible what the purpose of studying Solomon's Proverb is. A basic intro, but also a warning, "1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." 

Keep in mind that, at least to me and many others, Wisdom is defined as thinking and living according to God. Only through him may one find true peace and happiness. All other paths to peace are temporary, unfortunately for most of the world.

Exhortations to Embrace Wisdom

Proverbs 1:8-9 reminds the believer of the fifth commandment from God of honoring your parents. It goes further to tell the reader that these will not only help you, but they will become a decoration for your spirit. I beautiful necklace declaring your obedience in respecting your parents.

Proverbs 1:10-19 Warns against falling into the temptation, and often exciting, lifestyle of sin. It warns of those who will promise you riches if only you harm your neighbor to claim their possessions for your own. It tells of how, though these people feel satisfied and content with harming others for their own gain, it can and will quickly lead to their own death and destruction. 

It goes as far as to warn you to not even set a foot unto their paths, that is how dangerous this evil can be. It is a reminder to choose your friends wisely and be sure that those who influence you are those who will help you grow spiritually and emotionally. "Proverbs 27:17 as iron sharpens iron, so one believer sharpens the other" 

Warning against Rejecting Wisdom

Proverbs 1:20-21 It makes it very VERY clear that Wisdom does NOT hide from us and gives us every opportunity to accept her teachings.

Proverbs 1:22-23 I personally think these two passages must be recognized more. It again shows that if you simply accept the teachings of Wisdom she will not hesitate in giving you knowledge and happiness. Wisdom does not hide her face in any way. This addresses the issue people bring up of "What if someone never hears the word of God?" as God can and will reveal himself personally to every human on this Earth at some point in their life. He gives us each a personal choice, whether we realize it or not, to accept or reject his love. According to an excerpt from 1 Samuel 2:30 "...Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained" God goes by many names, and while a person may not call our God by the same name, it does not mean that person does not honor the same God as we do.

Proverbs 1:24-27 Wisdom will NOT cry out forever. There will come a day when our opportunity for such a thing will leave us.

God has performed a miracle today, just as he does all days. If you see my post from before you will notice I had an urgent prayer request for everyone to pray for my Pastor's newborn daughter grace. The doctors were positive that it had an issue with it's spine and it would die within a few days. They told the parents to be prepared to let go of their daughter. They sobbed and begged God to have a supernatural healing on their daughter. the doctors took fluid from the newborn's spine to test for the thought illness. The results have returned. The baby had a simple infection. 

This world is so full of grief, but also beauty.

My pastor's wife had their daughter, named Grace, two days ago. It looks as if there are complications with the child and it may die within a couple of days. Perhaps even as soon as tomorrow. That is however if it turns out to have the illness the doctors think they have. Seeing as no one knows for sure but God. I ask/demand we all pray to the most high for the healing of this newborn. God's ultimate plan for my pastor and his family will take place above all else but if ever a miracle was meant to happen it is this one. Share, pray, it is not too late. The bible says when two or more gather for a a cause God will recognize the prayer that much more. There is no doubt in my mind that God will heal this child if we fight for her.

I STRONGLY URGE YOU, Tomorrow at 2:45 EST you gather your family, friends, church if possible, and we all pray for the well being and supernatural healing of baby Grace. Pray for the well being of my pastor and his whole family. This is not a joke, don't blow it off and act as if there are better things to do with your day it will only take a minute or two at the very least.
