When wisdom
enters your heart and knowledge is pleasing to your soul, then judgement and
understanding shall keep you, to deliver you form the evil man, from the man
who speaks evil things.
Enter is the word
"bo" that means;
to come, to go, to abide, apply, attain, befall, bring.
It is first
used in Scripture in Gen 2:19 where YHVH created all
the animals and brought them (bo) unto Adam
so that he could name them. We will compare these two thoughts; YHVH bringing the animals into the presence of Adam and YHVH bringing wisdom to
your heart. What was Adam suppose to
do with the animals? Adam had to name the animals. In the same way will YHVH bring wisdom
into 'your presence' (heart) to see what you will do with it. What does "to
name" in this context mean? How do I "name" wisdom?
Name is the word
"shem" that
means; name, honor, authority, character, definate position (to mark).
One is
"marked" by ones character and your name is connected to a
"definite position"; when your
name is used, a mental picture will pop up in the minds of those who know you,
and this picture is based on your character. Adam had to come up with a name or
"mark" for each animal that would give other people a clear
understanding of the animal. In the same way is your name an identifier that is
connected to your character and personality. How people preserve you is based
on your character as well as how you conduct yourself (how you appear to them).
Wisdom has "character" and dictates your behaviour that identifies
you as a follower of the One Who gave you that wisdom. In other words, wisdom
is the "mark" (name/identifier) of someone who is a true Believer.
Wisdom will influence your behaviour or character, also known as your name.
YHVH said that He will give us new names and that implies that He will change
our characters so that our behaviour will change and result in a new
"mark", "descriptor" or name. You will become a different
"animal".
YHVH's Name
describes YHVH's Character and identifies Him as the One with ultimate Wisdom.
In His Name you will find many things; kindness, goodness, power, judgment,
righteousness, mercy, forgiveness, salvation, etc.
Psa 116:13 I will take
the cup of salvation, and call on the name of YHVH.
Rom 10:13 For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of YHVH
will be saved."
We see
numerous times in His Word that we can call on His Name Psa_116:13, Rom_10:13, this gives
us the broader understanding that we know His Character and based on knowing
Him, we can call out His "Character attribute" that is applicable to
our situation. I may sound like magic, using "a word" or sound that
has specific meaning and power. It is not about chanting that sound or name
like they do in Kabbalah, it is about having a relationship with Him, knowing
His Person and Character, the One Who's Name you are calling upon.
YHVH is the
One Who is the Originator of all wisdom
and whenever you call on His Name, that wisdom will present it self to
you (just like the animals did before Adam), and if you acknowledge (recognise)
or "identify" (name) it, that wisdom (part of YHVH) will enter into
your life and change your character (name). We are all in a process where our
"names" (characters) are being changed so that we will have a new
name in the end.
Rev 2:17 He who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I
will give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and
in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it .
You will
normally call upon the Name of YHVH for help; the way YHVH will respond is to
give you the wisdom to overcome that obstacle. Wisdom is the solution to most
of our problems and the outcome for many difficult situations. When wisdom
enters into your heart and you respond by expressing it through your life, you
will have the "mark" or "sign" or Name (character) if YHVH
on your life that will look like YHVH. Applying more and more of YHVH's wisdom
will eventually change your character (name).
You do not
build good character if you do nit undergo difficult situations. Trials and
temptations are part of your "character building", "name
changing" experience that YHVH uses to change you and build you up so that
you can become a stronger person that will have his attributes (wisdom). During
this process you will learn to know YHVH's Character and be conformed to His
character so that you may become like Him.
