God stores
up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity….
What does it mean to have integrity? A
completeness, an innocence or simplicity, truthfulness, upright or perfect.
There is a local car dealer that always has “Integrity” in their ads. Integrity
in everything they do, so that whether you purchase a new or used car from them—you
know that you are getting a good, honest deal. Is that possible with a car
purchase? We’d all like to think so. Does that car dealer have wisdom and
integrity? God’s promise here through Solomon’s writing in Proverbs 2 is wisdom
and protection…a shield against what…the flaming arrows of the enemy? This
promise is to those who are “upright”…those who are faithful to Him.

Walk Upright
Are your feet walking the same direction--with integrity?
|
So, are you faithful to God? Are you
drifting through life or are you taking responsibility for your thoughts, words
and actions—using the resources that God has provided for you? Have you been
seeking God’s wisdom in His Word… For
the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding…?
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and
live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33.
It all boils down to God…seek Him first in
your life. Live in a way that pleases Him—and ask Him for wisdom as you read
and study His Word. Be faithful.
Prayer
~ Lord God, thank you for Your promise that you’ll never leave us or forsake us…and
that You store up wisdom for the righteous. You are an awesome God…and I praise
You.
