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.
