Proverbs 8:1 “Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift up her voice?”
From the start of the Book of Proverbs to the very end, one will repeatedly find wisdom appealing to anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere to acquire and attain her. Wisdom wants you to know she is available!
Wisdom is so convinced we need her that she states without any reservation that we should prioritize getting (attaining) wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, “wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom and in all your getting, get understanding.” Wisdom is calling!
Why is getting wisdom so essential? What does it provide? As wisdom makes its numerous appeals it also tells of the advantages one will have in living a life. Wisdom can be defined as having a skill. The wisdom that is found in proverbs is described as heaven’s insights for earthly living. When heaven’s instructions are applied one has the various skills and abilities needed to live life the way god intended life to be lived. Talk about having an advantage in life!
Twice in proverbs, we have very scary verses as both proverbs 14:12 and 16:25 say, “there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” we learn with wisdom the right way that leads to life rather than death. Proverbs 8:35 says, “for whoever finds me (wisdom) finds life, and obtains favor from the lord; 36 but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.”
Are you hearing the call from wisdom? Are you hearing the cry of wisdom? Wisdom, heavenly instructions for earthly living, is available to you!
Practical Application: A way to answer the call of wisdom is by reading and studying the book of Proverbs. A way to do this is by reading one chapter a day. I suggest reading the chapter that matches the day of the month. With today being August 1 read Proverbs 1. Then on August 2 read Proverbs 2. Do this for each day of August! Early in my walk with the Lord I received this great advice and I wholeheartedly believe it to be some of the greatest advice I could ever give you. I hope it will become a spiritual habit in your life!
The wisest decision you will make is to get wisdom!
Wisdom is calling to you. Will you answer her call?
