Gain wisdom and perfect instruction.  Get authentic understanding from the words God had penned for our benefit. The Spirit of God gives insights. Tune in and receive instruction for prudent behavior, and do what is right, just and fair.

He gives prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—for understanding proverbs and the sayings and riddles of the wise.

wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square; on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech: How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?”  Don’t be a fool and hate knowledge. Listen up, the Spirit is always speaking to you.

Out of our Father’s great love for us, He disciplines us. Repent at His rebuke! Then He will pour out His thoughts to you, and His Spirit will make known to you God’s teachings. Do not refuse to listen when His Spirit warns. Pay attention when God stretches out His hand. Otherwise, God will laugh when disaster strikes you; He will mock when calamity overtakes you—Thank God for His loving discipline.

For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to the Spirit of God will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.

and accept the Spirit of God’s guidance. Store up the  word of God within you, and turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding— look for it as if for silver and search for wisdom as if for hidden treasure. Then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes loads of useful knowledge and the deepest understanding. Open your heart and be filled!

Our Father holds success in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones. Understand what is right and just and fair—walk and talk with Him.

Wisdom enters the heart of those who listen and obey the nudge of the Spirit.  His knowledge is pleasant to the souls of the faithful. Allow discretion to protect you, and obey the understanding  He gives to guard you. Wisdom saves you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse.  The upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it.

Do not forget God’s Word and teaching, but keep His commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

In all your ways submit to your Advocate, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”

The Spirit says, “Take hold of God’s word with all your heart; keep His commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding. Do NOT FORGET God’s warnings or turn away from His Way. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”

You just read Proverbs 1-4.

The grandeur of God’s ongoing grace appears in unexpected places. Grace is what twists our disaster into rejoicing. What appears to be hopeless in the unseen matter of every challenge —is God at work. Ah, into the fullness of His presence, merrily I go.  ❤️ What the world thinks is the end of us, God and you rejoice!

With a new song 🎵 in your heart, leap like happy sheep. Give voice to those odd lyrics, those wonderful words that bubble up from the deep. Trust this tune as God’s personal blessing to thee. Sing without a worry of tone or rhyme. Just praise God in your delightful, foreign, heavenly tongue! Dare to be goofy, like Snoopy, an odd dog with overflowing joy and wisdom.

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” ❤️ Romans 15:13
