Proverbs 2 Devotional Study
The best way to find your way
Imagine going on a road trip without a GPS, a map, or any familiarity with the road ahead of you. At first, it might not be difficult to find your way. But eventually, you would reach a point where you had no sense of direction. You would be lost. Technology provides quick and easy navigation for the road, but what about when we feel lost in life?
It’s hard to find direction when we don’t always have clear instructions from God.
Have you ever felt like you couldn’t hear what God was saying to you? Maybe you faced a big decision where it wasn’t clear which option was best. We may not have a road map or GPS for the situation before us, but the Lord doesn’t want to confuse us or leave us hanging.
God gives us a way to hear from Him and understand His desire for our lives. Proverbs 2:6 says, “For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Every word in the Bible was “God-breathed,” meaning it was inspired by God and recorded by men (2 Timothy 3:16). That’s why we call the Bible “God’s Word.” Reading the Bible is the way we hear from God and grow in wisdom and understanding.
As we read the Bible and pray, we get to know God better and learn to trust Him more. And the more clearly we see God, the more clearly we can see what He would want for us.
Wisdom doesn’t always come right away, and it doesn’t always come in the way we wanted. But God always guides us in His own timing for our good.

| | The Value of Wisdom |
| Proverbs 2:1 | My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; |
| Proverbs 2:2 | So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; |
| Proverbs 2:3 | Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; |
| Proverbs 2:4 | If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; |
| Proverbs 2:5 | Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. |
| Proverbs 2:6 | For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. |
| Proverbs 2:7 | He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. |
| Proverbs 2:8 | He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. |
| Proverbs 2:9 | Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. |
| Proverbs 2:10 | When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; |
| Proverbs 2:11 | Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: |
| Proverbs 2:12 | To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; |
| Proverbs 2:13 | Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; |
| Proverbs 2:14 | Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; |
| Proverbs 2:15 | Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: |
| Proverbs 2:16 | To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; |
| Proverbs 2:17 | Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. |
| Proverbs 2:18 | For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. |
| Proverbs 2:19 | None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. |
| Proverbs 2:20 | That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. |
| Proverbs 2:21 | For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. |
| Proverbs 2:22 | But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
