Verse 14: Wise men store up Knowledge.
And also in Proverbs 24:4,5 says:
Verse 4: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Verse 5: A wise man is strong, yea, a man of knowledge increases strength.
The Hebrew meaning for the word "Knowledge" is: Intelligence, discernment and implies discovery and to know.
This word comes from the Hebrew word "Yada" which means: To know by seeing and out of this word is where we get the word "Seer" or "Prophet".
Let's break up some of the words in verse 4 & 5 we just read so we can better understand what the Lord is telling us here. We will begin with verse 4.
1. The word "chambers" in this verse means: Innermost part, within or a private place.
2. And our next word is "precious" meaning: Brightness, clear and fat (due to storing up God's word in your spirit).
3. Our third word in verse 4 is "pleasant" and it means: Sweet, agreeable and to be a delight.
4. The our last words are: "increases strength" which is described as: The ability to expand, enlarge, increase and rise to a greater number, quality or degree, to be firm and having the capacity to produce, power and wealth. WOW!
So if we put this all together this is what the Lord is telling us in verses 4 & 5.
Verse 4: And by knowledge shall the innermost part, the private chamber of your heart( where the Holy Spirit dwells), be filled with all brightness and clarity (because it has stored up the word of God) that comes from Him and is sweet to the spirit and agreeable to your soul.
Verse 5: A wise man is strong, yea a man of knowledge has the ability to expand, enlarge, and rise above to the greatest quality and degree so they can increase in might, power and have the ability to overcome all obstacle's.
The IV Pillar of Wisdom that is needed to build our spiritual foundations on is: "Integrity" Proverbs 2:7 tells us: He (God) stores up wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
The Hebrew meaning for the word "integrity" is: Completeness, the quality of being whole or undivided, unimpaired moral principles and honesty.
This is interesting that the word "integrity" is the plural for the word Thummin which was one of the objects in the High Priests breast plate. This was an emblem that represented complete truth and perfection in determining the will of God. The other stone that was used was the Urim that ment: "light".
So by us producing the fruitful wisdom of integrity, we walk in an unimpaired state of honesty and purity. We produce the character of uncorrupted virtue, especially in relation to truth and fair dealings. We don't compromise, we avoid deception, we are loyal to the truth and we are teachable.
Beloved, I pray that you walk in the knowledge of knowing, through experience, that He loves you and cares for you so much more than you could ever comprehend. He wants to reveal unto you, even in the small things of life, that He cares and is concerned. God is walking with us on this journey called life and will prove to you that He is nearer to you than your very breath, because when you speak His name, the name of JESUS, all of heaven stands at attention. Every obstacle in our path is removed and made clear. Every mountain that has stood so tall before us and unpassable becomes His opportunity to reveal Himself in a mighty way. May you produce the fruit of integrity and know that you are complete in Him, through Him and because of Him. He is the wisdom and He is the light that will guide you through any and every trial that you may face. He is a faithful God and will continue to be faithful no matter what we go through or where He takes us. This journey has purpose and destiny that will be fulfilled.
Blessings,
