Proverbs 2 v 5 - 8 - Benefits of Wisdom

v5 promises that if you have wisdom, you will understand fear for God and finding the knowledge of God. in general, understanding the fear for God, and the knowledge of God are things are pretty hard to get, and not many people do get them. but those who have the right mindset, and ask God for wisdom, they'll get it. Relates to the narrow / wide gate (Matthew 7:13) , few get in the narrow gate because it's harder but is ultimately better. so this is a bonus of  wisdom, we'll get extra knowledge of God. But the knowledge of God also is about knowing God personally, and when we know God better, we'll submit and obey. And through knowledge of God will lead to salvation, and eternal life through JC.


John 17:3 And this is eternal life: that people know you, the only true God, and that they know Jesus Christ, the One you sent.


We only get wisdom, through God and nothing else, through his written word primarily, but also through the holy spirit and through other wiser Godly people, and it gives us understanding and knowledge. There's a huge distinction between human intelligence (slightly ironic that I couldn't spell intelligence) and wisdom. We can't measure wisdom through IQ tests and through PhD's and degrees and etc. 


God stores wisdom up for the righteous, and protects the blameless, like in titus, doesn't mean sinless, it means those who seek God and do what he wants, and have a faith in JC, and yeah. So, we need to be righteous and blameless, in order to get wisdom. God makes sure justice is done, and protects all those who are loyal. So, when we seek wisdom, and we get wisdom, God shows us the benefits of it as well.
