Guys, I'm super excited for Proverbs chapter 2. It's going to be great. Now, something I forgot to mention in the last one is the Book of Proverbs. It says the Proverbs of Solomon. Most of them were written by Solomon, but there's a couple other authors in the book of Proverbs and they clarify it, but this is Solomon's book. He probably took a collection of the writings and put them together. Okay, so we're going to read Proverbs Chapter 2 and break it down, starting in verse 1, my son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you let's stop right there right off the bat if if meaning you have the option to choose to receive the words of god or not this means that wisdom cannot benefit us if we don't receive it or treasure

it. Store it up. Prepare. Right? Because here's the thing. We have to be ready. There's going to be

times in life and trials and life that are going to come at you and that you don't expect.

And things are going to happen in your life and moments and interactions. You're to lose friends gain friends you're going to lose your job get a new job

this and the other but if we store up the word of god and write it on the tablet of our heart

then we will be prepared to make a defense to anything that happens in us we will have the hope

inside of us store it Wisdom can't benefit you

if you don't store and treasure up in your heart. Verse two. Making your ear attentive to wisdom

and inclining your heart to understanding. What does it mean to incline your heart to wisdom?

This means that it implies effort. There is a sense of effort necessary and required to incline your heart to wisdom.

That means you have to try. That means you have to care. That means you have to be ready.

Be active, be moving, be focused, dialed in, sharp, trying to apply yourself to the heart and wisdom of God it must be sought out

like hidden treasures verse three yes if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding

if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures then you will understand

the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 25, verse 2 later on, we'll get to it.

It says the glory, it's the glory of God to conceal things, but it's the honor of kings to search it out.
