Searching For A Rare Jewel

Proverbs 2

Moral Benefits of Wisdom
1 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 and 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,
and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He holds victory in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.

10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.

Reflection of Bee:

I have lots of negative thoughts this morning when I woke up. I felt that I could not forgive someone who have hurt me too deeply, to the extend that I don't want to go to heaven if he is going to be there. I felt that I don't want to be with a 'hypocrite' in heaven.

How silly was my thought to give up my salvation because of a person. God would be the judge to decide who should be in heaven, not me. He will deal with this person in His own way and in His own time.

"If" we do the things stated above, "then" we will receive what followed. Wisdom and the fear of the Lord goes hand in hand, so is the knowledge of God and understanding.

I need discretion and understanding in my dealing with people. I need to learn the fear of the Lord in every aspect of my life. I need to ask the question, "Is God happy with what I am about to do?" before I do it.


Dear Lord,
Forgive me for the negative thoughts I have this morning. You know that what was done to me was very painful to me and I am finding it hard to forgive without a proper conclusion. I want to commit this matter to You and asked that You will let Your love and reconciliation takes place so that the devil cannot accuse us before anyone.
Now I am putting this chunk of pains and hurts into Your hands. I ask that Your love will help to cover a multitude of sins and Your forgiveness reigns. I pray for Your peace to be in my heart.
I pray for this person too that You will reveal to him what he has done wrongly and that he will right what's wrong.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
