    The true and living God will bless your obedience – with wisdom and protection. He generously gives true and helpful wisdom to righteous men. God has all the wisdom in the universe, and He will share His treasure with good men. He will be a buckler to them as well, which shows His strong protection by using the metaphor of a battle shield. As in any writing, check the context to grasp this proverb. King Solomon, the Preacher of Israel, had listed the means for finding the fear of the Lord and the knowledge of God (Pr 2:1-5). He then taught that since God is the fountain and source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, He gives these things abundantly to faithful men or women (Pr 2:6-9). Reader, what will you do? Here are divine wisdom and protection for your life. They are available to all who will humble themselves and seek them from God Jehovah, beside Whom there is no other god. When a man chooses to follow the way of righteousness taught in the Bible, God will reveal truth and wisdom to Him (Ps 119:100; John 7:17). If you follow the world – the way of folly and sin, you will suffer the dire consequences of being blinded to wisdom (Rom 1:18-27), have God turn against you (Pr 1:20-32; Is 63:10), and then die a miserable death in ignorance and sorrow (Pr 5:11-13; 8:36). But you can also choose life and blessing, which God will give for obedience (I Pet 3:10-12). How much wisdom has God laid up for the righteous? The Bible contains more wisdom than all the educators and institutions of “higher learning” combined (Is 8:20; I Cor 1:19-20; I Tim 6:20). On any subject, the Bible provides answers that confound and shame the ignorance of men (Ps 94:11; 119:113,128). How much time do you spend reading it? God appointed Solomon Preacher in Israel to give inspired wisdom to His people (Eccl 1:1,12; 12:8-11). And He has ordained more preachers through Jesus Christ since His resurrection and ascension into heaven (Ps 68:18; Eph 4:8-16). It is your privilege to seek them out and find your wisdom from God (Jer 3:15; Mal 2:7; Col 1:28; II Tim 3:16-17). The Bible thoroughly covers every part of your life, any question of philosophy, effective policies for civil rulers, God’s role in history, what He will do in the future, how churches should function, and what they should believe and practice (II Tim 3:16-17). Just this book of Proverbs addresses finance, marriage, speech, friends, wine, religion, business, politics, relationships, risk, child training, sex, fear, discrimination, and so much more. What is a buckler? It is a shield (I Chr 5:18; Song 4:4). When listed with a shield, it is different in size, construction, or battle use (Ps 35:2). By using buckler as a metaphor, Solomon taught God’s protection for upright men (Pr 30:5; Ps 18:2,30; 84:11; 144:2). The angels of Jehovah, spirit beings superior to men by any measure, are servants for those who fear God and keep His commandments (Ps 34:7; Heb 1:13-14). “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety” (Ps 4:8). The maximum safety you can have on earth is to walk uprightly, which is to have goals, habits, and a lifestyle of doing what is right. The eyes of Almighty God look throughout the world to show Himself strong for those with perfect hearts (II Chr 16:9). Not only will God protect the godly man during life on earth, righteous living is also the assurance and evidence that you will be safe in the Day of Judgment (Matt 7:21-23; II Pet 1:5-11).

    Some invitations are not take-it-or-leave-it offers! If you disregard or refuse them, you beg for the wrath of the inviting parties. If a boss invites you to a meeting or a king to a dinner, you better show up. So is God’s offer of wisdom. Lady Wisdom calls to men, and they better take her offer, or she will mock them in their calamity (Pr 1:20-33). God does not owe an answer or help to men who neglect truth or play with sin (Ps 66:18; Is 9:1-2). Truth and wisdom are not rights: they are privileges. He offered truth and eternal life in Eden; Adam and Eve chose the devil’s lie and death. They made a terrible choice. He gave them the consequences. Most make the same choice every day – the devil’s lie and the death it brings are better than God’s truth and eternal life. Therefore, He is holy and just to hide truth from men (Amos 8:11-14; Matt 11:24-26; 13:10-17; Rom 11:7-10; etc.). He declares truth every day and night by the heavens and life’s blessings (Ps 19:1-6; Acts 14:17). Men are without excuse, because He plainly reveals Himself to their minds (Rom 1:20). The problem is their hearts! They hate His authority and despise His laws, so they rebel to idolatry or evolution to eliminate Him. He justly blinds them and rewires their minds to abuse each other with sexual perversions (Is 44:9-20; Rom 1:21-32). He declares truth through His inspired scriptures, the Bible, which is preached by chosen men (Ps 19:7-11; Is 8:20; II Tim 3:16-17). But men hate the Bible for the same reasons – a sovereign Creator’s authority and rules that restrain the lusts screaming within. In righteous judgment, He sends delusions to believe lies and be damned (II Thess 2:9-12). King Ahab rejected God’s prophet Micaiah, so the LORD gave him what he wanted – a flattering lie (I Kgs 22:1-18). Then Micaiah graphically described God’s choice of a lying spirit to get him to battle to kill him (I Kgs 22:19-40). God is fair. If you value anything in your heart more than His truth, He will deceive you (Ezek 14:1-11). If you think you can survive without His wisdom, He will blind you from it and destroy you (Is 29:9-16). Israel was offered Old Testament blessing or cursing (Deut 28:1-14; 28:15-68). And it was offered New Testament blessing or cursing (Matt 21:33-46; 22:1-7). Paul made a grand comparison of them as a warning to the Hebrews (Heb 3:7-19; 4:1-11). Beware! How have you used today to seek the will of God for your life? Wisdom calls to you from this proverb and from the rest of the Bible. Will you invest 1% of today, which is 14 minutes and 24 seconds, to learn? If not, look out! Tomorrow may be too late. The living and true God is under no obligation to wait for you to get serious (Pr 29:1; Rev 2:21-23).

    Here is the high calling of motherhood. There is truth in the saying, “Behind every great man is a great woman.” The greater truth is that this woman is usually his mother! King Lemuel was indebted to his mother for advice that follows in Proverbs chapter 31. While the description and benefits of a great wife are found in Pr 31:10-31, the chapter begins with the great value of King’s Lemuel’s mother, which you should consider first. God put His stamp of approval on this mother’s advice by inspiring and preserving its selected words for the pages of Holy Scripture. Every mother should rejoice at the opportunity to teach and form a son into a great man by considering her very practical instruction and her bold and plain declaration of it. Not every woman can raise a son to be a great king, but every woman can be better by the example of this great woman. Who is king Lemuel? Who is Agur, the son of Jakeh (Pr 30:1)? Who were Ithiel and Ucal? What is the book of Jasher (Josh 10:13)? Since God did not tell you, their identities are not important. Do not speculate about God’s secrets and miss the revealed wisdom before you (Deut 29:29). You know the Author, even if you do not know specific writers. Whether Bathsheba’s advice to Solomon, Abijah’s advice to Hezekiah, or the advice of a foreign queen to her son, it matters little. God inspired these words for you, since it is called a prophecy, and since it has a very godly summary of a virtuous woman (Pr 31:30). Solomon wrote 3000 proverbs (I Kings 4:32), but the men of Hezekiah copied out only a few select ones (Pr 25:1). They likely added two appendices – the proverbs of Agur (a wise prophet) and the royal advice of Lemuel’s mother, both by God’s providence. God inspired this woman to teach her son rules for moral protection (Pr 31:3-7), noble use of authority (Pr 31:8-9), and domestic prosperity (Pr 31:10-31). This is some of the most practical instruction in the Bible. Every woman should humbly realize it was a woman that gave the lofty description of the virtuous wife that follows (Pr 31:10-31). Every woman for whom it is not too late should examine the legacy she will give her son. Wise women know their important role in training children, even sons. Bathsheba taught Solomon (Pr 4:3-4; 6:20), and Solomon assumed that mothers teach their sons (Pr 1:8; 6:20). But helping with homework and assigning household duties are not nearly enough. This great mother taught her son very plainly, even when grown, on real subjects like women, wine, justice, and marriage. Let every mother wisely use her time with her son. Do not let the world, with its earthly priorities, misdirect your efforts in the few formative years you have with a son (or daughter). The devil’s diabolical ambition for your son is to love the world’s things, like sports, instead of being consumed by heavenly things for God’s glory and Jesus Christ’s kingdom (I Tim 4:7-9). The more the world entices him, the more he is God’s enemy, and you the accomplice in his horrible ruin (Jas 4:4). Driving him daily to baseball practice and watching him shag fly balls over a ten-year youth program may give you warm feelings and an escape from housework, but what has it taught him for the moral battle of good versus evil that he will fight with numerous enemies out of your sight for the rest of his life? How will it equip him to deny his lusts, reject the world’s lies, love God, and be a tree of life to others (Eccl 12:13-14; Pr 11:30)? Helping him daily with homework to make the honor roll is not much better; for again, what did it do to form godly character, which is much more important to God and good men, and which will guarantee future success in all areas of life (Pr 4:5-13; 22:11)? In all the hours of learning facts to regurgitate for tests the next day, most of which he will never need or use again, did you make time for daily musing in God’s book, the Bible?
