IN GOD WE TRUST

 BIBLE STUDY #8 PROVERBS 2:1-8

NETTIE-ISM: I was reading Proverbs 2 and was thinking about what has been going on in my own life and then I read verse 9. It is amazing how much smarts is found in Scripture!

PROVERBS 2:9 THE VOICE

With this wisdom you will be able to choose the right road, seek justice, and decide what is good and fair

Isn’t it amazing? Think about all these: Social Justice Warriors, people declaring Black Lives Matters, and groups like ANTIFA that have their own form of justice. 

Proverbs 2:1 instructs the hearer to take the advice of someone wiser, the source of wisdom. What is wisdom? It is the ability to apply knowledge in an appropriate manner. Wisdom helps a person apply understanding.

PROVERBS 4:7 KING JAMES VERSION

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 

I am always fascinated by the words of individuals both with PhD’s from universities and those from the street. They are so smart in their own mind, wise in their own eyes (Proverbs 3:7), and to the people who follow them but on the outside looking in they sound ignorant. An example is those who believe in Climate Change which used to be global warming. 

The climate is always changing which is why we have seasons and the technology is always improving which is why we have more data. But this biggest problem with climate change fanatics is: there is not unanimous consent to this theory. I don’t know any elders who believe in climate change / global warming.

Wisdom is developed when we accept the teachings of our God fearing elders and follow the word of GOD. “With this wisdom you will be able to choose the right road, seek justice, and decide what is good and fair.”  What we see today is people disregarding wisdom and developing their own form of equality- which is not equal. 

With true wisdom there is a reverential respect for God, the Bible calls it a “fear”. We have so much love for Him that we do not want to disobey Him. We know and therefor believe that He is the Final Authority! God is Sovereign. 

This nation, the United States of America, was founded on the principal of: “In God We Trust”.  Many want to change this to: “In man we trust.” These individuals are driven by self-centeredness, arrogance, lack of humility, self-righteousness and greed. Unfortunately, America has been tainted by those who are out to disregard the wisdom of the elders and the Truth found in Scripture. 

Proverbs is the Book of Wisdom, today we see people reject the book which is why there is no peace. Jesus is Justice; no Jesus,no justice, no peace; know Jesus, know Justice, know peace.

PROVERBS 2:1-9 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

My son, if you receive my words,

And treasure my commands within you,

2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,

And apply your heart to understanding;

3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,

And lift up your voice for understanding,

4 If you seek her as silver,

And search for her as for hidden treasures;

5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,

And find the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

8 He guards the paths of justice,

And preserves the way of His saints.

9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,

Equity and every good path.
