Good Morning! Prov 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Do you think you are smart? Do you know people who think they are smart? Well I think in our own minds we all think we are smart! But listen to Vs 1 and 2 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands WITHIN YOU, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your HEART to understanding. You see God is telling us that it doesn't matter how Smart you are, if you don't have Jesus in your HEART and the Word of God WITHIN YOU, then you are not to smart! In Vs 6 He tells us He has given us those things, Jesus and His Word, WHY? Vs 9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair-every good path. You see we could have been straight A students, we can have Bachelors, Masters, and Doctor Degrees in all sorts of things, but if we don't have God and His Word in our hearts we are not smart. Because when we take the Wisdom and Understanding of the Lord and use it, it is then that, Vs 10-11 Wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge (of God and His commands) will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. You see for most of my life I thought I was smart. I knew what life was all about, but the truth was, my life was a MESS! It wasn't until I really found the Truth, the Way and the Life (Jesus) that I started to have some wisdom in my life. And one thing I have found today, is I can have all those degrees I talked about earlier and I can have all the computer savvy and knowledge of the world, but if I don't have Jesus in my heart I am Stupid! In a song by Toby Mac he sings, "I don't want to gain the Whole World and lose my soul!" because in this world today, that is what everybody is trying to do. Be smart enough to have all the things this world has to offer, but if we are truly smart and truly have Wisdom we will see it's not about this world, but the next. For in Vs 21-22 It tells us, For the upright will live in the land (Heaven) and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land and the unfaithful will be torn from it. So it doesn't matter how smart you think you are today! If you don't have JESUS in your Heart and the Wisdom of Gods Word Within You, you are just chasing after the wind. For when we find God and His Salvation through His Son then Vs 5 you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God and when you do that YOU ARE SMART! HABD!

What makes you Smart?
