“Get wisdom, get understanding, do not forget my words or turn away from me”. Do not forsakewisdom, she will protect; love her. She will watch over you. (Proverbs 4:5-6)

I think this is a huge concept and idea of how to treat God’s word or Wisdom as a person. God’s Word or Wisdom as revealed in the Bible gives us a tremendous insight. The personal touch of  God is so powerful. 

 

As a John 1: 1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.

 

You see the personification of the Word logos is God so if you love the Word of God, you love God because they are the same. The Word of God, the scripture is revelation of who God is and what he does. There’s no other things shows that, although I know the nature, shouting screams and the glory of God, only because of God. 

 

The real deal is not to forsake and she will protect you, love her and she will watch you. Love is powerful. Love that “love” the word. Love her because you are really treating the word of God is a person now and it’s not just a person but very personable person, a person whose emotion and attributes, characteristics,like you fall in love with a girl, you fall in love with a woman,you fall in love with a man. You love your wife, you love your husband, your boyfriend, girlfriend. This is how God wants us to understand and treat the word of God. Now if you love the Word, you have no problem to obey the word because you love her. It’s no more duty. It’s a delight from duty to delight. You don’t obey the word of God because you have to. You obey the word of God because you love her. Hallelujah it’s like you want to care for your husband or wife because you love him or her.

V 7 “:The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you”.

 

Cherish her and she was you and her and she would honor you. What a powerful profound statement right here even though it costs all you have. Christianity is all or nothing. And that’s why Jesus said the first commandment is “Love the Lord of God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul”. Its all and notlove as much as you can. 

 

The problem is we don’t understand that loving God with all hearts is organic even if you love gotten only 10% for now, but you know your heart is towards that direction. It’s no problem even if you screwed up big time, but the Lord, God will forgive you and restore. Amazing look at David. David is the greatest king over Israel ever. But he made the most grievous sin that I’ve known of and its sick to the heart because he killed one of his own soldiers to get his wife because his wife is beautiful and she bathed half naked in her backyard, and David saw her her from his balcony in Palace. After that he go her to sleep with him, that Dave slept with her and God judged severely. The baby that was born died. And David was severely punished, and all his concubines were slept by his son Absalom as God judged David. He was doomed. His son Absalom went after him, trying to kill him and take his throne, that is a judgment form God. But on the incredible side, he was so shaken in his heart because God confronted him. His conscience pricked him so badly so hardand the Spirit of God convicted him so badly, and that he fell down and pleaded with God for forgiveness. He cried. Like he prayed in the book of Psalms. He wrote, he prayed that, “Take not your Holy Spirit from me”. –He loves the Lord. You see, love covers a thousand sins. 

 

1 Peter 4 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

 

Psalm 51

 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right[b] spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from your presence,
    and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
    and uphold me with a willing spirit.

 

Against the Lord, have I sinned. Of course, he sinned against other guys, but he’s always talking with God. He’s so focused with God and loving the Lord passionately. God is the most important person in his life. There’s no other comparison. No one comes near. The Lord eventually restored him, forgive him. He moved on to become the greatest king of Israel ever known. Because he loves the Lord. A lot of things can be forgiven, and God looks over the wrongs and the sins of done, and God forgives you, and moves on. But don’t do it again and indeed David never did that again. In fact, never 300 concubines after that shamed by his son and he never went near them anymore. 

 

The power of love in the Lord. Amen.
