Wisdom is Calling Out to Us - Are We Listening?

DAY 6- Proverbs 8

This passage is full of some very powerful truth! To sum it up, Lady Wisdom is calling out to us (spoken in first person tense). She is beckoning us to listen to her words and to follow her counsel. If we do so, we will live well; live a life at our best. That's the thing I'm most seeking! I want to live life at my best. I want my days to count for something; to make a difference for God's kingdom. I want to be the best husband, father, son, brother, friend, employee and neighbor that God can enable me to be. If we choose God's knowledge and life discipline over wealth and career and material things, we will find that wisdom is far more valuable and satisfying than even the greatest of those things.

If we seek wisdom, we are promised that we will find it. And with it will come those other things we desire: wealth, honor, and a good reputation. The benefits will be even greater than a huge salary or the best bonus you can imagine!

God created wisdom first before he created the earth, oceans, the sky, etc. Wisdom was standing right next to God from the beginning, making sure everything in creation fit. I believe this clearly tells us that widsom is of the highest importance to God, and therefore it should be of the utmost importance to us.

Embrace God's knowledge and we will be blessed. Wake up each morning and prepare for the day by seeking wisdom and we will find real life and enjoy God's good pleasure.
