Today’s post lists my findings from a personal study and review of Proverbs Chapter 2.

The Moral Benefits of Wisdom

* Understanding that the fear of The Lord is reverence and awe
* Finding the knowledge of God
* Wisdom comes from the Lord
* Knowledge and understanding come from the Lord
* Those who walk uprightly will obtain victory
* The Lord shields those whose walk is blameless
* The Lord guards and protects His faithful followers
* You will understand what is right and just and fair
* You will find every good path
* Following the Lord’s commands allows wisdom and knowledge to enter your heart and soul
* You will learn discretion and it will protect you
* Understanding will guard you
* Wisdom will save you from wicked men and from speaking perverse words
* Wisdom will also save you from the seductive temptations of adultery
* You will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the path of those who are righteous in Christ Jesus
* The upright and blameless will inherit the earth

Today’s post was inspired by the reading of God’s Word from the book of Proverbs 1:1-33.

Why have we not responded to the Lords rebuke
Not given heed to his outstretched hand?
Why have we ignored His sound advice
Nor taken heed to His every command?

How long simple ones will we love simple ways
Wandering aimlessly throughout all of our days

For if we had right responses
To the Lord’s reprimands
He would send living waters
To heal our parched dry lands

Yet since we would not accept His advice
And we spurned His rebuke
We will eat all of our days
Of our own rotten fruit

But If we listen to the Lord
If we heed His requests
We will live at safety and at ease
Without fear and be blessed

So we pray for right responses
To every toil, task and test
Embracing the wisdom of King Solomon
As we strive to give You our best
