February 9, 2018- Friday-#615 Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation- Proverbs 8 KJV
***I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. ***
[1] Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
[2] She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
[3] She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
[4] Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
[5] O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
[6] Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
[7] For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
[8] All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
[13] The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
[14] Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
[17] I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
[32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
[33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
[34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
[35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord .
Words to ponder for today:
Wisdom and Understanding:
(I Love Them That Love Me; And Those That Seek Me Early Shall Find Me)
This chapter started with a question.
*Why?
Because many people are dying without wisdom and understanding. Many commit suicide because they didn’t come to know that there is life after death; that judgement awaited they soul after living this life.
* What really is wisdom and Understanding?
According to Merriam-Webster:
Wisdom - a discernment: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure : skill in discerning
Understanding- comprehension: the power of comprehending; especially : the capacity to apprehend general relations of particulars
According to the Bible:
Wisdom is the principal thing.
Wisdom and understanding shall preserve and keep those who love it and do not forsake it .
Wisdom- is the fear of The LORD
Understanding- is the knowledge ofThe HOLY ONE
* When is a person received wisdom and understanding?
When a simple, unlearned and without knowledge of GOD, decided to take heed,hear and humble down to accept the word of truth as the basis of faith and practice; the word of The LORD JESUS CHRIST which is written in The Authorized Version Of The King James Bible.
Proverbs 4:5-7 KJV
[5] Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
[6] Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
[7] Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
* From whom comes Wisdom and Understanding?
According to his verses:
[4] Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
[5] O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
[6] Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
[7] For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
[8] All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Wisdom and understanding comes from the one who had said:
John 14:6 KJV
[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Yes He is. JESUS CHRIST is The one calling:
Matthew 11:28-29 KJV
[28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
He is The One who said:
John 14:15,21,24,26 KJV
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
From this verses is the confirmation from The LORD JESUS CHRIST that the wisdom and understanding is given through Him by GOD His Father, Who have sent Him in this earth;
* to prove GOD’s truth,
* to provide for us a way, truth and life. Even the entering of A Comforter, Whom is The HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, who teaches us all things. Even understanding that Accepting, Believing and Calling upon The LORD JESUS CHRIST to be our personal Lord and Savior as The Only way to salvation.
* to pardon us from all of our sins; taking all our sins and burdens, by giving His life for an offering; His blood that cleanses all our guilt away .
He is The Source Of Wisdom and Understanding from GOD who spake during His earthly ministry:
[32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
[33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
[34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
[35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord .
Desiring Loving favor from The LORD?
Hear Listen and Learn; get wisdom and understanding from The LORD.
Search for it, Seek it diligently , and Sought for it.
“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.”
BE BLESSED!
Proverbs 8:1-36 KJV
[1] Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? [2] She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. [3] She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. [4] Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. [5] O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. [6] Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. [7] For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. [8] All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. [9] They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. [10] Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. [11] For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. [12] I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. [13] The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. [14] Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. [15] By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. [16] By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. [17] I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. [18] Riches and honour are with me; yea , durable riches and righteousness. [19] My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. [20] I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: [21] That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. [22] The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. [23] I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. [24] When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. [25] Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: [26] While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. [27] When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: [28] When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: [29] When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: [30] Then I was by him, as one brought up with him : and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; [31] Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. [32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. [33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. [34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. [35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord . [36] But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
