The LORD Gives True Wisdom

The LORD Gives True Wisdom

Proverbs 2:6-7, “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.  He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.”

            Solomon mentions three important things that god provides for the righteous.  They are   knowledge, understanding and wisdom.  Every Christian musician must gain knowledge about music and musicing.  Knowledge of music is the solid foundation for being able to understand music’s meaning.  Without understanding of music and musicing the Christian musician is a “loose cannon”.

            Solomon explains that the self-existent, independent eternal God who “is”, “layeth up sound wisdom” for the musician who is righteous.  The Hebrew word tuwshiyah (8454) means the ability to possess intellectual understanding which gives the Christian musician wisdom.   The English word buckler is derived from magen (4043) connotes a protection and defense.  God will provide the Christian musician with protection as tough as an alligator’s hide.  So, Christian musicians fear God and walk uprightly as they study music, are promised that God will make complete provision for them.
