“THE WISE WILL HEAR!”
by Dona Hake
This past Sunday, my husband began sharing on the Proverbs in our Morning Bible study. Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the Bible, so I am very excited that he is going to be sharing on this. I would like to share today some things I pondered from the notes I was able to take. First of all the beginning of knowledge is reverence and respect towards the Lord. It is being able to learn. May we all value the utmost importance of revering our Lord for it is as we do this that the realm of His wisdom and understanding will be given to us. . The ear that listens and learns receives godly wisdom that flows only from above, and it is as we learn to listen and hear from the heart of God that He will preserve our way, and we will begin to understand righteousness in every circumstance.
As we read or hear Gods Word, and we truly keep our heart in a place that we know we are respecting and reverencing God, we will find that we will desire to yield to Him. If we resist yielding to God’s Word we will soon find trouble in our life. Anyone knows, that when we are driving and we see a yield sign that we must respect and abide by it. If you were to decide to ignore it out of rebellion or pride, we could end up in a collision. So it is in this life, for as a believer we can count on it that God is going to place yield signs in our paths to protect, lead, and position us to be safe and stay on the right path. Let us not rebel or be so prideful that we not heed to His loving warnings. Today I encourage you to seek to know Him more, reverence Him and His Word, and yield to His every command!
Proverbs 1:5 Amplified
The wise will hear and increase their learning,And the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth,
