What Do We Learn When Wisdom is Personified?

What Do We Learn When Wisdom is Personified?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for by it kings reign and rulers decree what is just. In Jesus’s name, amen.

How would you like to meet wisdom?

Proverbs provides an opportunity to get a glimpse of many aspects of wisdom.

Yet, in Proverbs 8:12-21 (ESV), we get an insider’s perspective of wisdom when wisdom is personified.

“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and I find knowledge and discretion.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate.
I have counsel and sound wisdom;
I have insight; I have strength.
By me kings reign,
and rulers decree what is just;
by me princes rule,
and nobles, all who govern justly.
I love those who love me,
and those who seek me diligently find me.
Riches and honor are with me,
enduring wealth and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold,
and my yield than choice silver.
I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the paths of justice,
granting an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.”

Now that you know what wisdom thinks, are you willing to take the next step? Will you ask God for his wisdom to guide and direct your paths?

Say, “Yes!” Submit to his will.

Wisdom Is Better Than Gold!

Wisdom Is Better Than Gold!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for wisdom is better than gold and more precious than jewels.

People the world over search for wisdom. Some will spend a fortune to discover wisdom’s hidden secrets. Some seek advice from supposedly wise people. That advice may or not turn out to, in fact, be wise.

God’s wisdom is found in his holy and inspired word, the Bible.

Proverbs 3:13-18 (ESV) portrays the value of wisdom.

“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than gold.
She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.”

Have you valued God’s wisdom in such high regard? Now that you know the value King Solomon gave wisdom, won’t you value it more highly?
