Plain as the nose on your face…

Proverbs 2
“Moral Benefits of Wisdom
1 My son, if you accept my words
And store up my commands within you,

2 turning your ear to wisdom
And applying your heart to understanding,

3 and if you call out for insight
And cry aloud for understanding,

4 and if you look for it as for silver
And search for it as for hidden treasure,

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
And find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom,
And from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He holds victory in store for the upright,
He is a shield to those, whose walk is blameless,

8 for he guards the course of the just
And protects the way of his faithful ones.”

So, I’m reading my Bible this morning and it hits me. It is truly as plain as the nose on my face…If I read and follow God’s word, how much easier my life would be. Now, I realize that it’s difficult to be “blameless” all the time, but just think of it. Reread the Proverb above and dwell on it a bit. If we truly seek wisdom as if it were silver or gold, (just as we work hard for the almighty dollar) think of the knowledge we would possess, the wise decisions we would make and all the trouble we would avoid in our lives!

Dear Heavenly Farther,
I pray that I would seek your wisdom daily. That I would search your word for every bit of wisdom you have so freely given so that I may live a blameless life and walk on a right path that leads to you.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
