Wisdom from Proverbs

Proverbs 2:1-5 helps me see things from God's perspective. I observe that the author writes from a father-like perspective, as a mentor would to a mentee. I interpret the verses as Solomon offering instruction to one of his sons. I view it as God offering insight to me.

God wants me to receive and to remember His truth. He invites me to plead for insight as I pursue His way. Then i will discover a deeper respect for God Himself--gain knowledge of Him. He empowers me to revere Him and to know Him better. The Apostle Paul say something similar to the believers at the church in Ephesus. He wrote,

"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may
give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better
(Ephesians 1:17)."

God wants me to advance in my spiritual growth by getting to know him better. I can get to know Him better. I will listen for His still small voice. I will ask, "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening." Then I will wait in silence for Him to speak. May God give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better also. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Go buckeyes!
