Why Is It Better to Find Wisdom, Find Life, and Favor From the Lord?

Why Is It Better to Find Wisdom, Find Life, and Favor From the Lord?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom, for whoever finds wisdom finds life and obtains favor from you. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Proverbs 8:12 says,

“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and I find knowledge and discretion.”

Wisdom continues to be personified in Proverbs 8:32-36 (ESV) as though Wisdom is speaking because this section is in quotation marks.

“’And now, O sons, listen to me:
blessed are those who keep my ways.
Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.
For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the Lord,
but he who fails to find me injures himself;
all who hate me love death.’”

What are you doing to seek wisdom? Given that this section of Scripture says, “Seek wisdom and find life,” persist in your quest for Godly wisdom.

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.
