Proverbs 2

Proverbs 2.    "Deliver Me!"

Be sure to read all of Proverbs chapter 2 today!  It describes in great detail how God's Word, and applying it, will deliver and protect us from those Satan would use to bring us down-or keep us down!

Verse 1-12 tells us "if you seek wisdom (wisdom from and of God) that God would respond and "speak to you wisdom" that will:
1. V.7.  Shield your integrity2.  V.8. Guard you3.  V.9-10. You will receive from His Divine understanding rightness with God, of justice, and equity in all our dealings with others.


These 'shut the door' to Satan because you "gave no place to the Devil!"  Read along with me those God protects us from:
V.12    Those who speak perverted things .   Corrupt language corrupts!  Remember, "Iron sharpens iron and a person's companions will shape who he becomes."  " He that walks with wise men shall be wise,". Beware of those you let or bring into your life!

V.13-15   Those who have turned away from God, the ways of God,  and try to get you to join in with them

V.16-19  Seduction!   Remember, Adam gave up his personal, intimate fellowship relationship with God for cute, warm and cuddly Eve!  Physical and emotional attraction are powerful tools in Satan's toolbox!  God created our desires, but we re not animals to be controlled by them.  Satan does not tell you of the loss and suffering giving in to seduction causes!

Verse 22 " warns us, yes, tells us ahead of time, that "the wicked will be cut off!"  You can not dance with the Devil and think you can lead!  Sin will take you further then you thought you would ever go, do what you never thought you would do, keep you longer than you thought you would stay, and cost you more than you thought you would ever pay!

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom!"  Study these proverbs.  Question yourself, "How does this apply to me?  What is God speaking to me about through His Word?  What do I need to do?"   You will never get lost when you follow God!
