Today we cover an overview of Proverbs chapter 2 and the big picture for the verses we’ll be looking at this week. Plus we dig in to the verses below.

Today’s Scripture:  Proverbs 2:1-2. 

My son, if you accept my words

and store up my commands within you,

listening closely to wisdom

and directing your heart to understanding;  (CSB)

Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you;

collect my counsels and guard them with your life.

Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;

set your heart on a life of Understanding.  (MSG)

Today and tomorrow we’ll cover the first four verses which are a series of instructions

John Phillips outlines these verses as:

• We Must Be Receptive (v 1)
• We Must Be Responsive (v 2-3)
• We Must Be Resolute (v 4)

Chuck Swindoll divides it into four disciplines

• Discipline of the written Word of God (v 1)
• Discipline of our inner desire (v 2)
• Discipline of prevailing prayer (v 3)
• Discipline of daily consistency (v 4)
