Proverbs 2:1-10
Still want wisdom? Here's what you must do:
Prov 2:1 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,
Prov 2:2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;
Prov 2:3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding;
Prov 2:4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Prov 2:5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God.
If you do that, then God will do this:
Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth {come} knowledge and understanding.
Prov 2:7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; {He is} a shield to those who walk in integrity,
Prov 2:8 Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
The result of your seeking and His giving:
Prov 2:9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity {and} every good course.
Prov 2:10 For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

Proverbs 1:20-33 (Wisdom)
Prov 1:20 ¶ Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square;
Prov 1:21 At the head of the noisy {streets} she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
Prov 1:22 "How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?
Prov 1:23 "Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
Prov 1:24 "Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
Prov 1:25 And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof;
Prov 1:26 I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes,
Prov 1:27 When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
Prov 1:28 "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Prov 1:29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD.
Prov 1:30 "They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof.
Prov 1:31 "So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices.
Prov 1:32 "For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
Prov 1:33 "But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil."

Bringing it all together
Well I am at that point in my life where everything is starting to blend together. I mean it was before, but I still had separate compartments for everything. Faith, work, home, desires, goals.... Now it is slowly all coming under the leadership of the Lord. He took me through some things, and showed me myself. He showed me others. He has shown me what I deserve and what I don't deserve. Now as He leads me it is now all coming back together as one. It's all about my heart and motivation for every thing I do. I am very excited to spend time in proverbs. Tonight I stop at Prov. 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
I don't need to teach you anything. Just read it. If you don't fear the LORD it's because you don't fully understand who He is. Even though you love Him and He may love you. There is PLENTY to fear! A mighty and powerful God who is wonderful, eternal, and HOLY.
Next if you have no desire to learn and grow, you are a fool. Just like when I get prideful, I despise anyone trying to teach me anything. What a stupid thing for me to do. Let's learn and grow each day.
Have you even known when someone is praying for you? Like right now. I don't know for sure, but 95% odds my dear friend is praying for me. He never tells me when he is praying for me, but I can always tell. He is a faithful man of God and I KNOW God hears his prayers. Another friend of mine far away is also praying for me as I am praying for him. May God hear OUR prayers and strengthen us where we are weak.
