—Proverbs 2:6-15
by: Angie Osborn.
In verses 6-8, we see what God does; he gives wisdom, understanding, knowledge, victory and protection. In verses 9-12, the“then” at the beginning of the passage refers us back to verses 1-5. If we look to the Lord for wisdom and understanding, then will have understanding, wisdom and discretion. Those sound like nice qualities to have! Verses 9–12 are promises: God will give us those, if we look to him! We have nothing to lose. As we look to the Lord, we become more in tune with him and develop a closer walk with him. As we develop a closer relationship with him, our actions become more reflective of him. I can’t think of a better deal!
