February 2, 2018- Friday-#608- Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation-Proverbs 1 KJV

***A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: ***

[5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 

[7] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

[8] My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 

[9] For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. 

[10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 

[15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 

[16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 

[17] Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. 

[32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 

[33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Proverbs- bywords, sayings

The key words in this Proverbs is ‘wisdom’. This was written by King Solomon, the wisest among all men, even among all the sons of God’s Apple Of the eye: King David of Israel. This was written to give guidelines in life; those who take heed to his sayings, gain the ability to live life skillfully. 

A godly life in an ungodly world, is no simple task; for one should understand with full knowledge the fear of The LORD. 

As it is said in v.  [7] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Most of the world’s frame in learnings are based on some teachings that deals with methodology on how to skillfully obtain wealth and good understanding to meet mankind’s basic needs. However, the moral subject which is taught to educate children in school, failed to connect to the inner beings of mankind, that, most oftentimes, those that obtained the highest degree ended up living alone with full of anxieties and distress; after they relentlessly work hard to reach the peak of their success. 

No book is powerful enough to change lives: it is only the words written in the Bible that transform even the hardest heart, the most firm intellectuals, so as the fiendish human beings. 

Because the author of  this Proverbs has been anointed by The Sovereign GOD, his written wisdom, if it was chosen to mold the simple mind of a child, the person who taught this and the one being taught will be counted wise and increase learnings, if they take this bywords sincerely, seriously and soundly. 

Let us all take note and read carefully the goal of this Proverbs, and let this be our instruction from GOD to remind ourselves first before teaching this to our children; and let us enjoy the benefits we may gain in applying the words of wisdom  in our day to day living from this chapter: 

[5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 

[7] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Be one among the Wise

Be not as fools of whom wisdom and instruction are despised.

 Be one among the blessed!

Good day! 

Proverbs 1:1-33 KJV

[1] The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; [2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; [3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; [4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. [5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: [6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [7] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [8] My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [9] For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. [10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. [11] If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: [12] Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: [13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: [14] Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: [15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: [16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. [17] Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. [18] And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. [19] So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. [20] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: [21] She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying , [22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? [23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord : [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
