By exploring the depth of meaning in these proverbs, parables, wise sayings, and riddles.

You should make it your goal to understand each proverb and parable contained in God's word. Often the Lord speaks with similes and allegories, which you should diligently consider. Adonai has given you superior intelligence, so that you can discern and perceive all that He tells you. Even if others have put you down as lacking in the mental realm, God has given you the power to rule and have dominion in this area. He has given you the ability to learn and to receive instruction. You can distinguish between what comes from God and what does not.

Sometimes you may think that you do not understand what wise men are saying, but the Lord proclaims that you have the ability to interpret another's words, even if they sound like a foreign language to you. What you hear may seem to be a puzzle and a conundrum, but as you are diligent to study and meditate on these words, you will eventually know the interpretation. The Lord your God will give you the answer to any riddle or hard question that presents itself to you. Nothing you hear should tie you into a knot. As you trust God, He will show you the solution. He will not keep you in the dark, but will reveal the Truth.
