The Fear and Knowledge of God Brings...

Proverbs 2:1-5

          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,
         and 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 the knowledge of
         God.

The fear and knowledge of God brings...
               wisdom - v. 6
               understanding - v. 6
               victory in store for the upright - v.7
               a shield to those whose walk is blameless - v.7
               protection - v.8
               understanding what is right and just and fair
               every good path - v.9
               knowledge will be pleasant to your soul - v.10
               discretion - v.11
               salvation from the ways of wicked men - v.12

I am grateful for the words of God which guide and direct us. If we would only cry out and search for God in all that we do, we will find pleasantness in life.
