The Book of Proverbs Chapter 2


The Book of Proverbs 

Chapter 2



1. My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you, 2. making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; 3. if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding; 4. if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures- 5. then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.



(Book of Proverbs Chapter 2 verses 1 to 5)



Oh God, my Father Your Wisdom goes far beyond the wisdom of the world, because from You flows wisdom itself, and it drops like raindrops on the people of the earth. People may think that they made a new discovery but in truth, they are like babies looking at the sky in order to catch a raindrop in one's hands Amen. May we aim to seek Your treasures oh God my Father than the wisdom and treasures of the earth Amen.



6. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7. he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly, 8. guarding the paths of Justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones.



(Book of Proverbs Chapter 2 verses 6 to 8)



Oh God, my Father it is true that You are knowledge itself and that You give us knowledge at the right time in every situation especially if we place our trust in You. I thank You for giving me the needed knowledge in the last two interviews, I was amazed how You refreshed my memory and made me remember knowledge and skills that had been passed to me about nine years ago, especially when considering that I had not practised or revised my skills ever since Amen. 



9. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; 10. for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 11. prudence will watch over you; and understanding will guard you. 12. It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak perversely, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14. who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil; 15. those whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their way. 16. You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, 17. who forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets her sacred covenant; 18. for her way leads down to death, and her paths to the shades; 19. those who go to her never come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.


(Book of Proverbs Chapter 2 verses 9 to 19)



Oh brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, I pray that You make a personal experience of God in Your life as I did. Until then religion will have meaning, but not relationship. It is like knowing about me because you have heard others talk about me, but still you do not know me as a person.  Since god had talked to me and let me see him in a vision and hear his kind but powerful, voice which almost caused me a heart attack, my life has changed. Even though I still have my weak points and drives and urges which cause me to sin, my awareness of God has greatly increased and even my relationship with Him in prayer and by means of others. Amen. Life has completely changed, because now I am accepting all that happens in my life as it really is, being according to the will of God Amen.



20. Therefore walk in the way of the good, and keep to the paths of the just. For the upright will abide in the land, and the innocent will remain in it; 22. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.



(Book of Proverbs Chapter 2 verses 20 to 22)



Oh God my Father what wise counsel You give us. If we place our trust in You and live according to the good news we have nothing to worry about. We will be totally secure for You are my rock and anybody who places trust in You will obtain salvation Amen.



Oh God my Father I would like to end this chapter with the following prayer:-



Oh God my Father today of all days I commit myself to living according to Your ways. I accept the Bible as being the pathway to You. I hold it as being sacred and true. I pray that You continue to open my heart and mind so that I will be able to understand what You mean to tell me during moments of prayer and will be able to continue sharing these posts with others Amen. Thank You Jesus.
