Proverbs 2 Bible Study

Every week on Tuesday I have a Bible study group I attend for the mom's group that I am in. I love going and talking through what I learned this week and learning even more from what other people learned from the Scripture. This gave me an idea...I would share with my blog readers what I learn each week on Tuesday.


Right now we are studying Proverbs! This week Proverbs 2! 

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.

For the LORD gives wisdom, 

and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

He holds victory in store for the upright, 

he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 

for he guards the course of the just 

and protects the way of his faithful ones. 

Then you will understand what is right and just

and fair-every good path.

For wisdom will enter you heart, 

and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Discretion will protect you, 

and understanding will guard you.

Proverbs 2:1-11

Two weeks ago (we missed a week because all the kiddos were sick) I was really struggling through some issues that I have yet to share through my blog. I'm just not ready to share it all but either way know that my family is going through a tough time right now. Proverbs 1 threw me for a loop and it made my struggling even worse. Well thank goodness I have my group of lovely ladies that I was able to talk it through with. 

Proverbs 2, however, is the opposite! It gave me so much hope! What I took from the passage above is that if I search and search for God and his wisdom then he is going to be there for me! How great is that??? Seeking after God will give me the knowledge I need for life, it will help me chose the right path for me to take, and God will be with me every step of the way. 

Being married to M as a non-believer is really hard for me for several reasons but one of the major ones is that he is suppose to be the leader of the house. He is suppose to direct my family to the path that God wants us on. I know that either path we are on God will be with us because I'm praying and learning what God wants from me. He wants me to be a devoted wife and mother and to show M Jesus' love through my actions. It's not an easy job. I struggle with it most days but days that I spend in the Word make it that much easier. God gives me the strength to follow M no matter where he leads us. 

This passage is going to always be marked as one of my favorites because I feel it can give me hope in any situation. I hope that you can find the hope and encouragement that I see in the verse. Next week will be Proverbs 3! I can't wait to see what I learn and discover about God through it!
