Understanding the fear of the Lord

Hi There, On our last post we wrote some thoughts on Proverbs 1 where Solomon encouraged us to fear the LORD. Chapter 2 gives some very strong instruction as to how you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. "My son, if you accept My words and store up My commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find knowledge and understanding. For the LORD gives wisdom, and out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:1-6 The easiest thing for me would be to list these things: 1) accept My words 2) store up my commands within you 3) turn your ear to wisdom 4) apply your heart to understanding 5) call out for insight 6) cry aloud for understanding 7) look for it as for silver 8) search for it as for hidden treasure then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find knowledge and understanding. For the LORD gives wisdom, and out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding. The key to wisdom and understanding is to read the Word of God, study it and hide it in our hearts. Are we willing to take the time to do this? Or do we consider everything else of more importance? I recently read of a missionary from India who returned home on furlough. At a midweek prayer meeting he read a letter that he had received from an Indian elder in the church, which the missionary had left behind. This is what he read: “Dear brother, we have missed you greatly while you have been gone, but we are trying to carry on. We are all studying the Word more faithfully than ever, and God has already been at work and we are having a great "rebible.” For more wonderful verses please finish reading Proverbs 2. He meant “revival.” The missionary reading the letter said, “Brethren, I do not think there was any mistake in that letter because whenever there is a re-Bible movement, there will be a revival.” How important is the Word of God to you, I hope you "read your Bible and pray everyday, and you'll grow, grow, grow."
