Verse of the Day (August 25, 2020) #BMSeminary – This verse gives two specific benefits of loving God’s revelation. (1) great peace (see Special Topic: Peace [shalom]); (2) no cause for stumbling (BDB 506). Another way to express this same truth is found in Pro 3:1-26, using the imagery of a father’s teaching and wisdom! Knowing and following God brings benefits in this life and the next! Remember, the word “stumble” (BDB 506) is an idiom related to the concept of God’s revelation as a clearly marked, smooth, straight, and obstruction-free, path (Psa 119:105; Pro 6:23).
