>IF
Pro 2:1 - 5
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my
commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply
thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy
voice for understanding;
Luke 11:9 – 10
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one
that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it
shall be opened.
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as
[for] hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find
the knowledge of God.
>THEN
Pro 2:6 - 9
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh]
knowledge and understanding.
Genesis 1:3 And God said…
What does God say? His Word.
And what of His
word? Well…
John 1:1 - 5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it
not.
So not just wisdom but life come from the
mouth of God via His Word.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a
buckler to them that walk uprightly.
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way
of his saints.
Who is a saint?
You dear reader
are a saint
IF you are a faithful follower of God.
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,
and equity; [yea], every good path.
>ELSE - GOOD
Pro 2:10 - 11
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is
pleasant unto thy soul;
Notice that it says heart not brain or mind.
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep
thee:
Discretion means purpose and to plot, ie: plot a course
Stay on the path of righteousness
>ELSE - BAD
Pro 2:13 - 22
To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the
man that speaketh froward things;
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways
of darkness;
Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness
of the wicked;
Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their
paths:
To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the
stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth
the covenant of her God.
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto
the dead.
None that go unto her return again, neither take they
hold of the paths of life.
That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep
the paths of the righteous.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect
shall remain in it.
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the
transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
