He
layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous (Prov 2:7)
Wisdom On Display: Wisdom Results In Godly
Living and Peace: Proverbs 10:8-9
8) The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool
shall fall.
9) He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his
ways shall be known.
In this section of Scripture we will see that,
when we live wise lives, we will be glorifying to God and obedient to His Word….
EXPOSITION:
8) The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool
shall fall.
1. Those whose desires long for His Word will eagerly
accept and fulfill the responsibilities God has given to Him
2. Those who speak meaninglessly and silly
things will be overthrown and disgraced.
In
this proverb, the way in which we accept God’s instructions for our lives is in
view… A man should be willing to silently receive instruction from the Lord and
apply it to his life. For those who quickly speak out of turn, questioning the Lord
and His desires for his life, he is headed for a life of embarrassment.
“Who [is] a wise man and
endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his
works with meekness of wisdom.” (James 3:13)
“The words of a wise man's
mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.” (Ecclesiastes 10:12)
9) He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his
ways shall be known.
1.
He that lives an honest, faithful lifestyle
can be confident that he is hidden from harm
2. He that lives a twisted, deceitful, perverted
lifestyle can be certain that he will be found out and face retribution for his
dishonesty
In
this proverb, we find the important of “following through” our receipt of God’s
instructions with our application of His instructions to our lives…. Once received His instructions bring us peace
and security when they are applied to our lives. Those of us who do not receive His
instructions, or do not apply them to our lives, we can only look forward to
being brought to shame and reprisal at the hands of the Lord.
“He that walketh
righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions,
that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing
of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high:
his place of defence [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given
him; his waters [shall be] sure.” (Isaiah 33:15-16)
“In the mean time, when
there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that
they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware
ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” (Luke 12:1-2)
SUMMARY:
Wisdom
in our life results in the graces of Godly living and peace.
By
God’s grace, let us all study these proverbs diligently, giving them the value
that they deserve.
May the
Lord bless us as we receive this sound wisdom and then “Think On These Things”.
