Another if-then...

Another if - then....

My husband loved if/then statements...he underlined them in his readings...he talked about them in his geology theories and work...
If this happened ...then this would be true...he found them in scripture ...he taught about them in classes......he graphed them out on whiteboards as he was thinking through a problem...we worked with them in family goals or budgeting...he planned for them in business dealings...if/then...

As I read Proverbs 2, I chuckled thinking of his love for this in his analytical mind...I am sure if I looked into one of his Bibles, the "if/then" statements would be highlighted somehow...

Proverbs 2:1-22 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. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,
who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

 Such promises with the "if/then"... Graphic explanations...I would rather walk in the ways of good and keep to the paths of the righteous... Than the "then" of the wicked...

Thank YOU...help me walk in Your path....
