RIGHT BEFORE US
READING: PROVERBS 8:1
Proverbs 8 discusses the availability of wisdom. It says wisdom cries out and lifts its voice. It is making an effort to be heard! It tells us that wisdom stands on top of the high hills. It is trying to be seen! We are informed that wisdom is to be found where the paths meet. It directs us through the busy intersections of life! Wisdom is also at the gate of the entry to the city. It makes itself conspicuous to invite us in! What vivid descriptions are used to demonstrate how very thorough the Lord is at making sure wisdom is readily available to His people. However, after the Father has done all to provide this wisdom, a basic fact remains. No matter how available our Lord has caused wisdom to be, we still must turn to Him to receive it. Proverbs 8 also provides the promise of what happens when we choose to look to Jesus for godly wisdom. The promise is that all who seek wisdom diligently will find it. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
