Every scripture has a divine and intended purpose for each one us. Some are directly aimed at us and some serve a learning tool but all are given by God so that we will profit and grow in the grace and fear of God.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." II Timothy 3:16-17
Today we will focus on the scriptures the Lord provided us via Solomon in Proverbs. Much wisdom can be garnered through reading the bible but in Proverbs the Lord is making an attempt to spell it out for us as plainly as possible, what is wisdom and how can it be acquired. This is the purpose of Proverbs. They were designed to give knowledge to us simple folks, they are instructions for living a just and prosperous life. Knowledge doesn't just spring up from reading the word but from the fear of the Lord. Satan knows the word yet he is not wise because he has no fear in his heart for the Lord.
This fear is not terror, or the kind of fear the seizes you when you walk down a dark street, but a reference, a love, a respect, so strong that you would be afraid to displease your Lord, you would be afraid to break His heart. This fear is the beginning of knowledge.
"The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1-7
But the wisdom is not imparted to you just by reading the words but like all of the word it must be eaten. So, sit down and grab a bite, knosh on it, meditate on it and prove that you are wise, only fool.s despise wisdom and instructions. If are you are wise the word will cause you to increase in learning.
