Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31 – Wisdom Calling
Key Verses: (MSG)
- 1-4: “Do you hear Lady Wisdom calling? Can you hear Madam Insight raising her voice? 2She’s taken her stand at First and Main, at the busiest intersection. 3Right in the city square where the traffic is thickest, she shouts, 4'You – I’m talking to all of you, everyone out her on the streets!'” – Wisdom, portrayed as a women, stands in contrast to the seductress portrayed in chapter 7. She stands at the cross roads of our life, ready to guide and lead everyone one of us through the decisions in our lives.
- 22-23: "God sovereignly made me – the first, the basic – before He did anything else. 23I was brought into being a long time ago, well before Earth got its start.” – Wisdom was created by God, not by Man, long before Adam and Eve.
- 30-31: “Day after day I was there, with my joyful applause, always enjoying His company, 31delighted with the world of things and creatures, happily celebrating the human family.” – Wisdom, hand-in-hand with God, participated in the creation of the universe.
- “Do you hear Lady Wisdom calling?”
Promises of the Gospel:
Solomon’s method of personifying Wisdom gives us the ability to evaluate the importance that knowledge of God’s teaching can play in our lives. We are the ones making the choices to learn from Him. Knowledge and Wisdom is available to us in the streets and byways of our lives if only we choose to take the time to look for it. As we do, as we study God’s Word and open our hearts to His guiding Spirit, we become better prepared for the challenges and hardships that will come our way in life.
