Today we are starting in the Book of Proverbs: on this Wednesday, May 7th. There are too many nuggets of wisdom to speak on all of them, so I will pick one or two out of each chapter. Because of the nature of Proverbs please share how God’s Word has spoken to you each day. Proverbs is a great book to meditate on to allow each truth to challenge your thinking.
Proverbs starts by helping us understand the foundation to learning truth. For us to increase in knowledge and wisdom we must start with a healthy fear of God. This reverential fear causes us to understand God as our creator, and sustainer of life. God is the creator of all things, so He has full wisdom of how all things work. God has spoken and has given us the Word of God. We should always be open to increasing in the truth of God, never stop learning and growing in him.
There is a battle is for truth, real truth and the world wants to entice us off the ways of God. The knowledge and wisdom of this world pulls us away from the mind of God. Notice I did not say truth. All truth is God’s truth, how it is perceived and interpreted becomes ones knowledge and wisdom. All core truth in its own context will be truth for all. Anyone who finds a dinosaur bone has found a dinosaur bone and that is the truth of the matter. When the process of information concerning who, what, where, when and how it got there may cause us to stray from foundational truth. 2 Timothy 3:7 talking about the last days before Christ return tells us this; “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Taking in information without understanding will not build a life of truth; truth is only found in God.
Verse 32 all those who listen to “me” will dwell safely. The wisdom and knowledge based on God’s truth calls out to us to follow Him, and in the truths of God is safety.
