There is Value in Godly Wisdom

There is value in godly wisdom and it is here we find in Proverbs 2: 1-5 the father teaching his son, his children, how to be wise. For it states: "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. 

The Bible is the owners manual in which we find value in godly wisdom.  And, It begins with the father in the home. As head of the family, he is to be a representation of God leading, teaching, and guiding them in every way. 

Solomon has taken God's law and made it his own by faith and obedience, as well as teaching and for instruction. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright, he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints (vs. 6-8). 

The upright, true believers, seek to know, love, and obey God and to live righteously. Fathers who lead their children instruct their children to be covenant keepers, who alone can know wisdom and experience God's protection. 

LORD, I come to you with a humble heart. I come to you in prayer for our fathers and mothers who are responsible for teaching our children to seek godly wisdom in their lives. With the battle set before us, may we hold fast to Your Word. May we seek for it as treasure. For You give wisdom; from your mouth come knowledge and understanding. You store up sound wisdom for the upright, and are our shield for those who walk in integrity. Thank you for the cross LORD. Thank you for saving grace. Your word is pleasant to my soul and may it be so for our children as well. May your word settle and transform the hearts of our children so that they may seek you in every way.. May our prayer be pleasing to you. May it be a sweet sound to your ears. It is in Jesus name I pray, amen.
