Thursday's Living Water

Scripture

My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD
And discover the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:1-5




Hijo mío, si recibes mis palabras,
y atesoras mis mandamientos dentro de ti,
da oído a la sabiduría,
inclina tu corazón al entendimiento;
porque si clamas a la inteligencia,
y alzas tu voz al entendimiento,
si la buscas como a plata,
y la procuras como a tesoros escondidos,
entonces entenderás el temor del SEÑOR,
y descubrirás el conocimiento de Dios.
Proverbios 2:1-5
