Proverbs 3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
It is by wisdom, understanding, and knowledge that the universe was created. Therefore, if you keep those with you and let them not depart, then they will be life to your soul and grace to your neck. Where do you get and how do you keep this wisdom? You get it from God, who reveals it to you in His Word. If you read, hear, learn, and meditate on the Word the Wisdom of God (Jesus) will breathe life into your soul and will adorn your neck with grace. Wisdom has a way of making one beautiful on the inside and on the outside.
We know that without God in your life (life in your soul) you are empty, blind, stupid, weak, and dead. We may not realize how much difference it makes when Jesus comes in to live in our soul. One thing that happens is that we are filled with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, and we keep growing in it.
The other part of the promise is “grace to our neck.” Our poise and our bearing glows with beauty and charm and strength. Yes, the wisdom of Jesus received through the word of faith does a lot for us, more than we think or imagine. These two things we need to believe about ourself: We are dumber than we think we are without God; we are wiser than we think we are with God.
