Proverbs 2:1-6 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 3:13-15 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Proverbs 9:9-10 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

Luke 12:5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear Him Who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

James 4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

1 Peter 5:5-6 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you,

Proverbs 3:34 Toward the scorners He is scornful, but to the humble He gives favor.

For Our Consideration What does listening and inclining our heart mean? Does our life reflect the truth of seeking real, eternal value as opposed to the temporal? What does fear of the Lord mean? How much pride is in our life and what do we do with it?
