September 15, 2013;

I started reading Proverbs along with the old testament, it's a challenge.  I'm supposed to read a chapter a night, it has 31, and do this for two years.  There's a purpose behind this exercise but I'll wait on that.

Anyway the first chapter explains that Proverbs is specifically for instruction on justice, equity and discretion.  Why do I care....well according to Proverbs when we seek wisdom and instruction we dwell safely, we live a quiet life free from fear.  When we choose not to our fear comes upon us and destruction.

So we eat the fruit of our own ways.



Ch 2 explains that wisdom and knowledge are to be sought after and the Lord gives those things.  As a result he is a shield for us, he preserves our ways.  So he preserves us, he keeps us and delivers us from the evil man and their devices. 

So there is a reward for seeking his wisdom and learning to operate with and in discretion.
