“THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD!”

 Proverbs 2:1-5                    (ESV)

The Value of Wisdom

    “[1] My son, IF you receive my words

        and treasure up my commandments with you, 

    [2] MAKING YOUR EAR ATTENTIVE TO WISDOM

        and INCLINING YOUR HEART TO UNDERSTANDING; 

    [3] yes, IF you call out for insight

        and raise your voice FOR UNDERSTANDING, 

    [4] if you SEEK IT LIKE SILVER

        and SEARCH FOR IT AS FOR HIDDEN TREASURES-treasures, 

    [5] THEN you will UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LORD

        and FIND “THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.”

Having an interest in knowing ABOUT something and a SINCERE YEARNING to discover more about the subject is a conundrum that is often misunderstood or overlooked.  

Directly after I experienced the “massive brain hemorrhage” in July of 2007, my thought process was extremely hampered because I WAS RECOVERING from my Brain injury.   I was unable to calculate as quickly as I could before, but I was alive and the PEACE that I was experiencing during this time of my life was very fulfilling.  

Proverbs 2 was penned by Solomon, a man who requested from his CREATOR for “an understanding mind” to be able to govern “YOUR great people” (1 Kings 3:9).  He could have asked for wealth, military strength, long life, or anything else that “this world” had to offer him.  But Solomon CHOSE wisely and GOD HONORED his prayer!!!

Being Brain Damaged is a condition that can be awfully difficult to admit.  Nobody wants to BELIEVE that ALMIGHTY GOD would leave us anything less than completely WHOLE? But we are ALL broken sinners in need of a SAVIOR!!  We ALL have imperfections that we NEED a SAVIOR to forgive!!

The first five verses of Proverbs 2 lets us SEE that we ALL need DIVINE INTERVENTION to become a person that will HONOR and GLORIFY THE SON OF GOD!  GOD THE CREATOR does ALL of the things that GLORIFY HIM, we just need to have “THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD” instilled in our hearts and minds and HONOR HIM with our entire beings!!!
