As we continue our study of Proverbs 2 let’s build on what we have already discovered. The focus of this chapter is acquiring the prize of life. This will require a diligent pursuit. As we engage in this pursuit God blesses us and encourages us with His promises. 

Listen to them: “For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones” (verses 6-8). 
 
Wisdom is not something we produce. It is a gift from God. We receive it by reflecting on what He has said. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. No short cuts. We need to become familiar with what God has said and meditate on it. 
 
He holds victory in store for you, but He doesn’t give it to you until you meet His standard of being upright. No deception. No compromise. And when He gives it to you, you can be sure there will be those who will be jealous and attack you. But if your walk is blameless He will be a shield to you. As you continue to pursue a just course He promises to guard you. If you faithfully pursue that course of justice He will protect your way. 
 
Your part is to be upright, blameless, just and faithful. His promise is to give you victory, shield you, guard you and protect you. You don’t need to worry about God doing His part. He is always faithful to His promises. 
 
In our next visit we will amplify the product or outcome, that is, the person God wants you to become.
