For this week in the bible study, we are to read this passage and to answer these questions digging deeper into this passage. I thought I would just do my answers here and if anyone else is doing this study, they can tell me what their thoughts were, too.
Proverbs 2: 1-6
What does it mean to?
–Accept my words: If I accept God words than I believe them and believe that there is meaning within them even if I don't at first understand them.
–Store up my commands: Remember in my heart what God has asked me to do (and biblical remembrance is more than just recalling them to mind. . . when God "remembers" us, the way he did Sara in the old testament, he also takes action, as should we).
–Turn your ear to wisdom: Don't just be content with the words in isolation or as they are in the story. Listen for the wisdom in them that may relate to my life or to the bible as a narrative/religious whole.
–Apply your heart to understanding: Look for where this wisdom directly intersects with my current life as I am leading it.
–Call our for insight: Pray for further understanding when I am confused or I am only seeing the surface.
–Cry aloud: Share my insights with others and share the wisdom with those who also seek it.
–Look for it: Look for opportunities to find more wisdom or truth
–Search for it as hidden treasure: Keep an eye out for the gifts/blessings that wisdom will bring to me
