Building on last weeks message "How Long Will You Be Simple" our search for real treasure (wisdom) continues. We are offered a promise that 'If we' love wisdom, store it up, listen for it, submit to it, ask for it and seek it out, then we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God Proverbs 2:5. Identifying markers of one having the fear of the Lord are: do you worship the Lord in reverence (acknowledging The Creator of the Universe), coming to Him in humility, conducting our lives in honesty, living in hope, having a spirit of contentment, being loyal, and thankful in all our ways? Proverbs 2:11-12 describes two 'body guards' at our disposal, discretion and understanding. These 'body guards' help us to identify and choose (with discernment) wisdom over folly. They help us to avoid the crooked man and strange woman in or around our lives and follow wisdom, the way of good.
Proverbs 8:11 tells us, wisdom is more precious than rubies! Though it costs us much, demanding effort to acquire, wisdom teaches us who God is, holds its value and provides us protection.
Remember King Solomons' advice: "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have get understanding." Proverbs 4:7
