Proverbs 2: 1-13

For the Lord gives WISDOM; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright…”  Proverbs 2:6-7a

Believers must be established on the truth that WISDOM WORKS by GOD’S WORD: For the Lord gives WISDOM; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up SOUND WISDOM for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly (Pro.2:6-7). God is the Source and Supplier of Sound Wisdom. His Word is the Answer Book to all situations of life. His Word has a supernatural solution to every situation. But we need to sit down, locate it and work it out: “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost…” (Lk.14:28). However knotty the situation may be, by Wisdom we can use God’s Word to work out our salvation (Phi.2:12).

The first step however is to FIND WISDOM: “So shall the KNOWLEDGE of WISDOM be to your soul; if you have FOUND IT, there is a prospect, and your hope will not be cut off” (Pro.24:14). Wisdom can be found in four major ways. First, The FEAR of the LORD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM…” (Pro.9:10a). But this Fear cannot be real when God’s Word is not held in high esteem. Second, we get Wisdom by desiring it with all our heart: “If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures” (v.4). Yet, the ultimate destination of this desire is the Word. Third, we’re instructed to ask or pray for Wisdom (Jam.1:5). This also cannot bypass the Way of the Word. The final route to Wisdom is Studying and Meditating in God’s Word. All of these avenues are important, but God’s Word is crucial and all-important!

God’s Word has the Power to make us wise: “and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to MAKE YOU WISE for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2Tim.3:15). The Scriptures made Timothy wise for salvation. God’s Word can make us wise for deliverance, healing, parenting, prosperity, business, and ministry, and all that pertains to life and godliness (2Pet.1:3).

The Light of Wisdom is sweet: “Truly the light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun” (Ecc.11:7). However, it is by meditating in God’s Word that we’re guaranteed gladness and enjoyment of this Divine Sweetness: “May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the Lord” (Psa.104:34). God’s Wisdom works to sweeten our lives, as we put the Word to work. No matter the severity of the situation, panic is uncalled for. What is required is to settle down with God’s Word, connect with His Spirit, and organize scriptural arsenals.

As a Believer in Christ, my spirit has a mandate to collect secrets from the Holy Spirit and deliver them to my mind for processing and action. Verses 1 and 2 read: My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding” (v.1-2). GOD has STORED UP “SOUND WISDOM” in His Word (v.7). It’s our responsibility to desire, seek, search for, and access the Reservoirs. The results: “When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you” (vv.10-11). We’re guarded (v.8), guided (v.9); preserved and kept from all evil (vv.11-13).

God’s Wisdom makes us to know the Way and become a Solution in any situation. Wisdom helps us to simplify complex issues and to concentrate our energies. Many have much energy (faith), but little productivity (wisdom); they have ability, but lack the instruction and direction of wisdom. They are toiling in the dark, rather than working in the light. Wisdom is walking and working in the Light of God’s Word!
