Proverbs 2

The first two chapters of Proverbs are a call to seek wisdom. It is a beautiful intro into this extremely dense book. Wisdom...
Why do we want wisdom? This chapter tells you.
-then you will understand the fear of the Lord (vs. 5) Why do we want the fear of the Lord? If you look at the 1st chapter it states the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. We want knowledge...just fyi.
-then you will understand what is right and just and fair-- every good path. I dont know about you, but sometimes I struggle with knowing what is right and wrong. I can justify stuff to myself all day when in actuality I am very wrong. Wisdom teaches us how to decipher right and wrong in these difficult moments. "every good path" -I want that...it just sounds good.
-it protects you. Physically it can protect you...that is applicable. You may be wondering how it can physically protect you, well: an example. Sex before marriage. If we have wisdom then we will know not to do this. If we do not do this then we will be protected from diseases and emotional damage. (sorry that was not to great of an example but it is all I have off the top of my head.)
-it will save you from the ways of wicked men.
-it goes on and on of all the things it can protect you from.

Good luck everyone. I hope you are having a great, blessed day.
