The last time we were together in the book of Proverbs I spoke to you about the pleasantness of wisdom. The person who seeks and finds God's wisdom will be a happy and blessed person; God's knowledge will be pleasant to their soul. God will lead that person and guide them through this life with and by the wisdom that He gives them in His word, when they will act upon it. Now, this evening I want to go on to show you that for this happiness to continue on, for you to continue to have this sure direction from God, day by day, throughout your life, that you will need to retain wisdom's words and principles of truth. Verse 18b says β "Happy are all those who retain her." In other words, the person who would truly be happy all the days of their life must keep God's wisdom close to themselves and not let her go. They must seek her companionship every day. They must hold her fast, as the word "retain" can be translated. There are 3 things that you should remember. You should remember, 1st of all β That wisdom is a fruitful principle that you must take hold of. 2nd β Remember that Wisdom is a grace which teaches you discretion and which you spiritually wear. And 3rd β Remember that wisdom will bring you certain tangible spiritual comforts.
