Proverbs Ch2:6-9

"6For the Lord gives skilful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.7He hides away sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him); He is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity,8That He may guard the paths of justice; yes, He preserves the way of His saints.(1) 9Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and fair dealing [in every area and relation]; yes, you will understand every good path". -AMP

My thoughts:

1) There is an obvious irony between the fact that Wisdom is abundant – and there for the picking by anyone “who bothers to look” and the fact that it requires diligence and great effort to find.

2) God, the source and originator of Wisdom has designed it that way…(Prov Ch 1:v 1 it is designed to br collared with justice, and judgment, and equity). In other words it is to be used for good – not for self-service or to meet corrupt ends.

3) I hope I don’t sound esoteric – but it appears that God desires to guard Wisdom from mis-use…–like the legend of “King Arthurs Sword” or the Hobbit was the ring Bearer in LOR – only released to, and guarded by the right people…in this case people who fear God.

Sound’s like a bit of an epic adventure...
