Slow Down and read the Scriptures


Proverbs 4:7“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”


So many times we go into a study to see how much we can learn or go over. Over time I have learned that when you do that you miss so very much.  Slowing down and reading the scriptures slowly and carefully helps you to understand and get the full meaning.  



Psalms 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 


  Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.


Proverbs 19:8“He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.”


Ecclesiasticus 19:24 He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High.
Proverbs 3:13-18 - Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding. (Read More...)
Job 12:12-13 With the ancient is wisdom and in length of days understanding.With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
Psalms 111:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
 

Proverbs 2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding;3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Ecclesiasticus 11:15 Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

2 Esdras 14:34“Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death, ye shall obtain mercy.”

Ecclesiasticus 33:3  A man of understanding trusteth in the law; and the law is faithful unto him, as an oracle. 


Mark 12:30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 33And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Ecclesiasticus 6:22 For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.23 Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.25 Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.26 Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.27 Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go.28 For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.29 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.32 My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.33 If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,34 Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.



1 Timothy 4: 15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
