Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a heavy demanding pounding on the door. Goodness! What’s the urgency?! I hustled to the door only to be greeted by a fast talking vacuum salesman saying he has a product that will clean my carpet like no other & would I like a sample? I, still wondering what the emergency was, said, “okay??” He handed me the sample, hustled to his van, got out a sweeper & fellow partner in crime & marched back to the door. It was then I finally realized they wanted into my home. To me that’s invasion of privacy & just plain dangerous, so rather rudely I sent them on their way with, “So now you want into my house? Yeah, not happening! Good day.”
Just like these salesmen wanted desperately into my house to market their product, God wants desperately into our hearts, lives & homes, yet He doesn’t push His way in. He doesn’t bang down the door, yet knocks with a gentle urgency. He doesn’t speak loud or fast, yet gets our attention with a gentle deliberate tone.
“…turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find
the knowledge of God.” Pr.2:2-5
Note the italics. We must,’turn our ears’ – listen. ‘Call out’ and ‘cry aloud’ – ask. ‘Look for it’ – search, then He’ll give wisdom, knowledge and understanding. We will be able to
“…understand what is right and just and fair – every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant
to your soul. Discretion will protect you and understanding will
guard you.” Pr.2:9-11
But, we must first want to hear from Him. We must want to keep cultivating, keep learning, and keep returning to Him. Let’s not rudely send Him on His way like He’s a salesperson, by dismissing His word & ignoring His knock.
“He holds victory in store for the upright,
He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for He guards the course of the just
and protects the way of His faithful ones.” Pr.2:7-8
Join me in prayer…
Lord, as we go throughout our day, nudge us gently to want to hear from You. Give us a desire to hear from You, a longing to dwell in Your presence. If we seem to be ignoring Your knock, please, bang down the door! Get our attention! We get so wrapped up in ourselves that sometimes we need an all out invasion! Don’t let us become callus to Your call.
Father, we long for the victory You hold for us. We thank you for Your shield for our walk and Your protection throughout our days. Amen.
Proverbs 2Living Bible
2 1-2 Every young man who listens to me and obeys my instructions will be given wisdom and good sense. 3-5 Yes, if you want better insight and discernment, and are searching for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure, then wisdom will be given you and knowledge of God himself; you will soon learn the importance of reverence for the Lord and of trusting him.
6 For the Lord grants wisdom! His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding. 7-8 He grants good sense to the godly—his saints. He is their shield, protecting them and guarding their pathway. 9 He shows how to distinguish right from wrong, how to find the right decision every time. 10 For wisdom and truth will enter the very center of your being, filling your life with joy. 11-13 You will be given the sense to stay away from evil men who want you to be their partners in crime—men who turn from God’s ways to walk down dark and evil paths 14 and exult in doing wrong, for they thoroughly enjoy their sins. 15 Everything they do is crooked and wrong.
16-17 Only wisdom from the Lord can save a man from the flattery of prostitutes; these girls have abandoned their husbands and flouted the laws of God. 18 Their houses lie along the road to death and hell. 19 The men who enter them are doomed. None of these men will ever be the same again.[a]
20 Follow the steps of the godly instead, and stay on the right path, 21 for only good men enjoy life to the full;[b] 22 evil men lose the good things they might have had,[c] and they themselves shall be destroyed.
I love the Book of Proverbs and two of my favorite preachers have preached through it and they are Adrian Rogers and John MacArthur. Some of the finest sermons I have heard by Adrian Rogers are in Proverbs such as the Peril of Pride, God’s Grace in the Workplace, God’s Miracle Medicine, God wants me to Prosper, Fathers who teach their children to be wise, God’s Answer to Anger, The Battle of the Bottle, Raising Kids that Count, How to be the Father of a Wise Child, Financial Freedom, What Does the Word of God Say About Government?, Friendship Factor, God’s Way to Wealth, Wisdom and Happiness, The Playboy’s Payday, The Incomparable Worth of Wisdom, How to Answer a Skeptic, How to Guard Your Heart, Treasuring Truth, Finding God’s Way in a Dark Day, Crossing God’s Deadline, Innocent Blood, and Sermon on Gossip.
