Benefits of Wisdom - Proverbs 2-3

Benefits of Wisdom.

Proverbs 2:4 (ESV)
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures, 

Have you ever wondered what the benefits of wisdom are for us?  If we pursue wisdom what will happen in our lives? It is worth forsaking all the world has to offer in order to pursue wisdom?  Let’s let Solomon’s own words answer the question.  This is why he tell us to seek her “like silver” and to search for her “as for hidden treasure:”

20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.

and peace they will add to you.

in the sight of God and man.

and he will make straight your paths.

and your foot will not stumble.
