My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—
indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:1-5
Our second month-long devotional journey has come to an end. I hope it has inspired you to take Bible study more seriously, and make it a part of your daily life. Never take my word for anything shared in these pages. I am a flawed human, and on the same journey to dig deeper in God’s Word as you are. And you don’t have to agree with everything I’ve written either!
Use this devotional as a catalyst to study for yourself and come to your own Holy Spirit-led convictions. If you would like a free hard copy booklet of this study, just email us: info@feedthehunger.org or call 1-888-772-9634.
Please watch the video link shown at the top of this conclusion. In it, I invite you to join our prayer email list. This is a weekly “no frills” email that shares the praises and prayer requests from our ministry and our partners. If you would like to sign up, please email: prayer@feedthehunger.org.
Let me conclude by sharing the names of the resources I often consulted for this study. The main online resource I used was www.biblegateway.com, both for viewing various Bible translations and some commentaries as well. Another one that was helpful was www.biblestudytools.com.
