Proverbs 2

A lot of this chapter funnily,was kind of confirming what I had been thinking in chapter 1.That listening to Gods wisdom is a friggin good thing to do!Can save so much heartache.
Its something I need to do a lot more of,I haven't read my bible in well over a year.In fact I couldn't find my bible that I wanted! (we have 12 in this house including the lost one!Thankfully there was my other one on the shelf).So much from Gods word could help me out in my daily life,yet I've chosen to not read it...not very wise aye!At least Im trying now :)
I love that there is this wisdom,this knowledge that helps us out in life.LOVE that I serve a God who loves me unconditionally (bible reading or no!).
At the moment I read verse 16-19,about saving you from the seductress (this was written for Solomon right?).Steve and I have so many friends at the moment whose relationships are splitting up,over infidelity and it sucks!I asked my brother the other night why it is that Steve and I are so different,why we have managed to stay together and they haven't (so NOT judging here!!!Really really not).But for us from day 1,I made it very clear what parts of Steve's anatomy would be hurt if he cheated on me,and was extremely honest that I wasn't getting into a relationship for giggles,that it was for marriage and if he didn't want to marry me and be with me for the rest of our lives then he needed to go elsewhere!lol nice of me huh?Luckily he felt the same way.(in a way,my Mum and Dad divorcing made my stance on this very clear at a very young age).But I guess what I'm trying to say is that,what I learnt from Mum and Dads marriage failing has actually helped Steve and I,I gleaned some wisdom from their mistakes.What not to do!
I have my years in leadership to thank though as well,the wisdom that was imparted to us back then has actually stuck with us as adults.Steve and I don't spend time with members of the opposite sex alone (other than family),we both know where each other are constantly,a question we have always asked each other is "what are you thinking?",it doesn't matter how stupid our thoughts may be we share the,.Sometimes they are deep,sometimes its a "I was thinking about how I need to go to the bathroom",either way,kept communication open!
Again each to their own,these are just my thoughts on this chapter! (if I have offended anyone,I am so sorry!).But chapter 2 has made me really want to teach our girls about listening to God,because c'mon Hes by far the wisest being ever!
How I can apply this to my life,today-I guess just listening to that voice,not ignoring it,trusting it and knowing that its my Father trying to impart some wisdom!
