Proverbs 2:6, For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding… ————— True wisdom comes to the human heart when our ear hears the LORD God speak. Finding the knowledge of God is simply a matter of hearing the voice of God. The proverb we look at this week tells us that “the Lord gives wisdom” and He gives it “out of His mouth.” If we are to understand the fear of God, we only need to hear the voice of God. If we are to find the knowledge of God, we only need to find the mouth of God. If we are to be wise, we must approach the source of wisdom, which is the WORD of GOD. There is no path to true wisdom outside the WORD of GOD because “out of HIS MOUTH cometh knowledge and understanding. ---------- There is absolutely no substitute for the B-I-B-L-E and the still small voice of God’s Spirit. Without the mouth of God, the fear of God will not be understood and the knowledge of God remain hidden. Have you heard the VOICE of GOD? Are you spending time in the WORD OF GOD listening to the MOUTH of GOD?
