Chapter 22

Proverbs 22 (Kim)

"Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge: for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; let them be fixed upon your lips, so that your trust may be in the Lord; I have instructed you today, even you. Have I not written to you excellent things of councils and knowledge that I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, that you may answer words of truth to those who send to you?" Proverbs 22:17-21

‘I have instructed you today, EVEN YOU.’

Hmmm… guess that means ME!

Why have I been instructed?

So that I can "…know the certainty of the words of truth," that “I” may answer words of truth to those who send to (ask) “me”!

o.k.

So, if I listen and apply my heart to this knowledge, keeping it close in my thoughts and speaking it often I will learn Gods truth and be able to share it.

In learning His truth I will come to know Him better and in knowing Him, begin to trust Him rather than the things of this world or my own imperfect knowledge or sight.

Sounds like a good plan to me... but, what if…?

Nope, not going there! I’ll just trust God and let Him take care of the “what ifs.”

Good Blog Kim. If we fill our hearts continually with all the right stuff, the Word, there will always be a wealth of knowledge to draw from.
