Proverbs 2 is packed with "how to's"! Verse 20 sums up the result of walking with the Lord and growing in His wisdom and understanding: the good life! Walking in the way of goodness is what I want and need every day! And God doesn't leave me clueless on how to do that.
Read thru this chapter carefully and you will find detailed instruction on how to not only seek the Lord but also on how to avoid wickedness and immorality. The wicked man and the immoral woman are constantantly at work to distract you and I from walking in goodness.
Deliverence from the way of evil comes: When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you; Prov 2:10-11
Prov 2:6 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 uprightly;8 He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints.9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path. (NKJ)
Stay on the good path today! Let God's wisdom fill you that you might not only honor Him but also bless and care for those around you.
In His Arm's, Pat

Thank you Pat for making it clear how we are to gain in wisdom by looking to the Word of God and fearing God. Why is it so easy to fear man and that's okay, but when fearing the Lord is taught, people are up in arms about how they don't want to fear the Lord and what kind of a God would teach us to fear him? I find that amazingly interesting.
