Proverbs 1
Wisdom and Purpose… here
The PURPOSE of Wisdom
To teach whoever is willing; understanding, and discipline.
Who is it for?
the simpleminded to be clever and gain common sense
young people– to find purpose and meaning
wise – increase in knowledge and understanding
knowledgeable – to increase in guidance and direction, discernment and insight.
The fear of God is the START or beginning of heavenly wisdom.
Reverence and respect to higher authority, GOD
Instructions in discipline, good conduct, doing what is right, just, and fair.
Solomon the wisest, and richest man, asks GOD for WISDOM
You can have knowledge, you can have information on the subject, but if you don’t have understanding, and insight into the situation, and how to go about it, knowledge is just that, information.
Without the PLUG ( POWER) of the HOLY SPIRIT, knowledge is useless. We have people walking around with heads full of knowledge, still making foolish mistakes, and getting into trouble.
If we ask GOD for WISDOM, he is Faithful and just to forgive us, and supply all that we need.
Benefits of Wisdom
SUCCESS FOR THE UPRIGHT
A SHIELD TO THE BLAMELESS
GUARD FOR THE JUST
PROTECTION FOR THE FAITHFUL ONES
Wisdom will save you from the ways of the wicked men
Wisdom will also save you from adulterous woman, the wayward woman with her seductive words.
To get wisdom, one must seek the Lord, for it, for he is the giver of wisdom. He alone, and he alone supplies the proportions of wisdom, and everything that comes with it.
So let’s seek for wisdom as we would for treasure!
Prayer
Father God I come to you seeking wisdom. I understand that wisdom only comes from above. I must reject foolishness, and embrace wisdom. I have information, but I need your direction to navigate with wisdom. Lead me into all things, direct my steps, amen
