The header above the first verse is "The Beginning of Knowledge"...who doesnt want knowledge?!?
The second header is "The Enticement of Sinners", it states "...if sinners entice you, do not consent." YOU do have a choice!
I am drawn back to verse 7, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Did you ever fear your parent would catch you if you did something wrong, so you didnt do it?!? I did!!! God knows even more about us, He knows our every thought! So shouldnt we study His word and know His expectations (more than just the 10 commandments)? He is our heavenly Father, we represent Him...THIS is the beginning of knowledge.
But more than this fools despise wisdom and instruction, so do you think it is always going to be easy doing what is right? I think not! Sometimes you may have to go against the crowd.
Vs 23 says, "...I will make my words known to you."
Think about it this week, are you doing what pleases God's heart, do you know what it is that pleases Him? We ALL need to make a conscious effort to constantly think about this, every moment, every choice, every day!
