Moral Benefits of Wisdom
Proverbs 2
For the month of August, Breathe will dive and embrace the wisdom scripture that is applicable to our lives in so many ways through the book of Proverbs. According to dictionary.com a Proverb is a short popular saying, usually of unknown and ancient origin, that expresses effectively some commonplace truth or useful thought. In other words, a biblical truth of advice or instruction used to illustrate moral or spiritual lessons, known as wisdom scripture.

Meditation Scripture: "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." (Proverbs 2:6)

Moral Benefits of Wisdom

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 indeed, 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;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success 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.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you....( refer to Bible chapter for remaining scripture vs12-22)
