Very few women I know can pack so much truth in a couple minutes! In this video, Janet Parshall expresses concern for women who are being taken as “prisoners of war,” talks about the importance of truth, and explains where exactly to find it in a culture that doesn’t believe it exists.
Do you know this Jesus, who calls Himself the Truth? How is He—along with His Word—impacting the decisions you’re making today?

My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
Then you will understand(M) righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
discretion will watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
delivering you from the way of evil...
Love to all my sisters in Christ!

It's beautiful to keep seeing you share such relevant scriptures, here. How they pertain to what ever is said on the TW blog when you participate, is lovely to witness.
As I read today, these scriptures spoke to me on the same topic:
"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 3:15
This can speak to one who's brought up, on and in, the word and (I believe) a new child of Christ who has the hope of 'knowing' the scriptures in what earthly life they have ahead of them. The wisdom of Salvation through faith. This is where the Christian is encouraged to seek wisdom, not in the world. :c) Pair that with a portion from the lovely scripture you shared:
"When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;"
Proverbs 2:10-12 (KJV)
And then braid it with:
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
2 Timothy 4:3
May we flee from itching ears, by guarding our hearts with faithful readings of scripture. We need not go on our own strength for this, but call out to the Father to fortify us with an unquenchable thirst for His word, his wisdom and not our own (seeking not for ourselves).
I thought these scriptures formed a lovely, strong rope of encouragement, edification (as we are always edified by the scripture) and admonishment!
Maybe it's saying the same thing in different words, but I found these things encouraging. Hope all are having a lovely, God focused day. :c)
Peace, love n' blessings,

Nancy Leigh DeMoss is always encouraging her listeners to "counsel our hearts with the truth of God's Word." I like that, especially when my emotions are running amok. The truth of God's word protects me from believing the Enemy's lies about myself or my situation. God's truth also protects my heart from discouragement as I seek to live a counter-cultural life, because what He values and esteems is not valued or esteemed by the world, and it is hard sometimes to be that little salmon swimming upstream! May the upcoming TW conference be used
mightily of the Lord to impart truth in some woman's heart who is desperately seeking and searching, so that she can be delivered from her bondage into the freedom Christ has for her.
Jenny, you are loved and appreciated! May all the sisters in Christ here have a blessed weekend and Lord's Day.

Glad now I could watch the video too -- thank you, Paula! Janet's words so confirm what my pastor was saying today -- how Christ is our life, and how the Word of God dwelling in us is our safety and our very life (he spoke much from Ps.1)... oh glorious Word of God -- oh glorious Christ!
Love and blessings to all you dear ones in Christ!
