“Further Benefits of Wisdom”

 

I found it interesting that as we read Proverbs 3 Solomon has changed wisdom into her and she.  This is obviously geared towards men because we drool over a pretty woman and when we see something as lovely we tend to stare and want.  So what better way to get men’s attention then to dangle wisdom as a beautiful woman.  The other thing that is perfectly clear here as well is that we should not depend on ourselves because when we think we are wise we are a fool because wisdom comes from God and His wisdom is beyond that of our own wisdom for He is Wisdom and not just “wisdom” but Perfect Wisdom not lacking anything and way beyond our own finite thinking.  I really like what verse 3 and 4 say:

 

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
       bind them around your neck,
       write them on the tablet of your heart.

 4 Then you will win favor and a good name
       in the sight of God and man.

 

You will win a good name in the sight of God AND man.  Love is the key to wisdom.  Write love on your heart and live every day in love and wisdom is abundant in your life and you will not only win favor with your brothers and sisters in Christ but with God.  But we have to take that first step to wisdom and that is to get rid of flesh and begin our walk with Christ.  If you have not given your life to Christ please go to our web site and click on “I Need Salvation” and read the prayer there.

 

Proverbs 3

 

Interesting tidbit, the phrase “Trust in the Lord” is only found 15 times in the NIV and ALL in the Old Testament and 8 are in Psalms.

 

Key Verse:

 

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
Proverbs 3:4-6 (in Context) Proverbs 3 (Whole Chapter)
