Wisdom Is Callingનમૂનો

  Wisdom Is Calling You, Part 1

Proverbs 8 presents a personification of wisdom. It opens with a call to hear and recognize wisdom’s voice. Solomon presents wisdom as the voice that cries out to people as we go about our daily lives. Wisdom sees people making foolish, sinful choices, blindly groping about in the dark. She distinctly beckons to them as they journey on the path that leads to destruction. Her voice is not weak; her tone is not hushed. She bellows out her message, strongly projecting her voice above the roar of the hustle and bustle of worldly influences that vie for people’s souls. She does not wait for an audience to gather and give her their attention. She speaks out openly in venues where she cannot be ignored. Rejected, yes—but not ignored. This is wisdom’s job, her objective. She beckons for everyone to make wise decisions, to do the right thing. 

The point is, God’s wisdom is available to us, and it cries out for our attention. As we will find out, there is an actual person who is the personification of wisdom. Wisdom is found in this person.
