Proverbs 24:13

26

"My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb which are sweet to thy taste: So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off."

"Wisdom is to the mind what honey is to the mouth."[9]

"If thou hast found it ... hope shall not be cut off" (Proverbs 24:14). Note the word IF. The teaching here is that one's eternal hope depends upon his finding wisdom. The wisdom that saves the soul is found only in the Holy Bible; and therefore an apostle has commanded us to, "Study to show thyself approved unto God" (2 Timothy 2:15). It is to be feared the TV set, the newspaper, the radio, and that roaring tornado of noise that Satan is blowing upon us from all directions have fatally interfered with many Christian's obedience to this commandment.
