Benefits of Wisdom - (Proverbs
2:1-6)
2 My son, if you
accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Call out for insight. Ask God for insights you wouldn’t
think of on your own.
Cry aloud. Pray out loud over situations where
you need wisdom.
Look for it. Actively look for God’s
