Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:2-5

Proverbs 2:2-5 I. Solomon's meaning is, that we are to begin life by fearing God, without understanding it; as a child obeys his parents without understanding the meaning of their commands. If we do not always know the reason at first, we shall know it in due time, and get, so Solomon says, to understand the fear of the Lord. In due time we shall see from experience that we are in the path of life. II. This is the secret of life to believe that God is your Father, schooling and training you... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:6

Proverbs 2:6 Religion may be properly considered in relation to the ends of study, and to the spirit in which these ends are to be pursued. I. Education ought to discipline and to strengthen the powers of the mind. This is the real object of all study. Men are to be prepared for their work. The best student is the man who is most, not the man who has learned most. No good student will neglect any side of his being. He must have fulness of nature, wideness of capacity; all that God has given him... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:10-11

Proverbs 2:10-11 I. If we look at the teaching of Scripture upon the subject of Christian humility, we find that its two main characteristics are: (1) distrust of self and of purely human wisdom; (2) trust in, and gratitude to, God as the Giver of all good gifts. From these qualities, when carried into practice, spring modesty and forbearance, and consideration in our dealings with each other; a devotion to, and worship of, Him to whom we acknowledge that all we have is due. Christian humility... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 2:1-22

Proverbs 2:1-2 . Hide my commandments with thee, as a treasure is secured in the cabinet, or as the copy of the law was put within the ark in the holy place. The words of the law must be retained in the memory, as maxims of wisdom, and the sentiments concealed in the heart. Then they are ready on all occasions, as defences against temptation. This is to incline, to cleanse, and open the ear. Proverbs 2:4 . If thou seekest her, as the merchants in search of gold and silver cross the... read more

Proverbs 2:1-5So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom.WisdomThis is constantly connected with religion. A religious fear of God is the first step in true wisdom. He who would know God aright must love Wisdom and humbly and vigorously seek after her. Wisdom is spoken of as a virtue, as much as truthfulness or charity or sobriety. It is identified with goodness. There is a real, true sense in which wisdom may be put for religion: the God-fearing man is the wise man; without the fear of God it... read more
