Two verses stick out to me from Proverbs 2-
:9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path.
:20 Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
These verses both talk about "The Path". I love the journey, adventure, and path metaphors for life. As a man paths and adventures are much more appealing than relationship language. I'm glad Solomon seems to agree with me here, but I digress.
If life is a journey then the path makes all the difference.
Have you ever been on a journey a hike, or a drive on a bad path? If you've ever driven through Oklahoma, you have. The path makes a real difference.
Much like a road trip, you and I get to chose our path in life. Living properly makes life so much easier and the path is often enjoyable.
This is the benefit of Wisdom. How do we get this Wisdom? Good question- look at verses 1-4 of chapter 2.

looks to me like wisdom is to be searched for, sought and treated as something of really great value. I think also that the wisdom of God comes thru paying attention to what the bible says and being obedient. Also waiting on God & listening for his voice of guidance leads to the beginnings of wisdom. For me it seems to be a slow slow process.
