We began Proverbs in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan today. There is such practical information and instruction given in this book! Just on face value, you should be able to get something to put immediately into practice from this book. BUT, there is ALWAYS so much more to get IF you will meditate on these things and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you, personally and intimately, what YOU need to know! Joshua 1:8 tells us this:
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. AMP
Hosea 6:3 tells us that we WILL know, IF we follow on to know! If YOU would like to know more of the Word of God, you CAN! It takes diligence and persistence to meditate on the Word. Are YOU willing to put something into your Bible study in order to get a working knowledge of the Word? Proverbs 1:7 tells us this:
7 The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline.
Spend time in His presence giving praise, thanksgiving and worship. NOW you will be in position to receive wisdom and understanding so that you can become a DOER of the Word and "deal wisely and have good success"! AMEN! Happy meditating! Here is Hillsong with "Closer":
Shalom in Him!
