Wisdom From God's Word Brings Happiness – (Proverbs 3:13-18)

Daily Proverbs

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding; for her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who retain her.

Daily Bible Study
One of the many benefits of God's word and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is wisdom. As we grow in Christ and grow in the knowledge of God's word, we grow in wisdom and understanding. Which in turn brings guidance and direction into our lives along with a joy as we grow closer to the Lord. Another benefit of our spiritual growth has been an ever growing peace, we have in our souls, along with a joy that defies human understanding. These all stem from our relationship with Jesus and they are a natural byproduct of the process of spiritual growth carried out by the Holy Spirit in the lives of all those who follow Christ. This happens because the Holy Spirit does a continual work in our lives, bringing us into closer relationship with Jesus.

This work of the Holy Spirit enlightens our understanding as we read God's word and makes us more sensitive to the things of God. The process of spiritual growth carried out by the Holy Spirit is called "Sanctification" and as we read the Bible the Holy Spirit helps to "illuminate" scripture. This means the Holy Spirit increases our understanding of the Bible in light of Jesus, who He is and what He has done for us. This is because the Bible is God's revelation regarding His plan of salvation for mankind through Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore, because of Jesus, what He has done for us and our faith in Him, our salvation is secure. In addition, God's word gives us practical wisdom for our day to day lives. And through following God's instruction and guidance combined with the Holy Spirit's work, we live more abundant lives through Christ who strengthens us and provides all our needs.
