September 24

Introduction

Everyone is encouraged to respond to Wisdom’s invitation and to follow her instructions and search for knowledge.

Scripture Reading 

Proverbs 8:1-36

Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 8:12

“I am Wisdom, and I have insight; I have knowledge and sound judgment.”

Reflect

Wisdom is personified as a woman (verses 1-3) and as being present with God at the beginning of creation (verses 22-31). What was her role? Reread verses 11-21. How does Wisdom describe herself? What does she do? According to verses 32-36, what is the value of following Wisdom’s advice?

Pray

All-wise God, open my ears to hear and give me the desire to respond to Wisdom’s invitation to seek after your will and the true knowledge that comes from you. Such knowledge is truly more precious than jewels. Amen.

Prayer Concern
