Great Plains Daily Devotional for 07/15/2015

2My child, if you accept my words
   and treasure up my commandments within you, 
² making your ear attentive to wisdom
   and inclining your heart to understanding; 
³ if you indeed cry out for insight,
   and raise your voice for understanding; 
⁴ if you seek it like silver,
   and search for it as for hidden treasures— 
⁵ then you will understand the fear of the Lord
   and find the knowledge of God. 
⁶ For the Lord gives wisdom;
   from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 
⁷ he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
   he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly, 
⁸ guarding the paths of justice
   and preserving the way of his faithful ones. 
⁹ Then you will understand righteousness and justice
   and equity, every good path; 
¹⁰ for wisdom will come into your heart,
   and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 
¹¹ prudence will watch over you;
   and understanding will guard you.
