Meditations From Proverbs, Part 1

"Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares." - Proverbs 1:20

We now enter into a study of wisdom, which has been defined as "seeing life from God's perspective" or as "a skill for living." We are told early in the first chapter of Proverbs the importance of learning about wisdom and the consequences of rejecting it. Wisdom is often personified: "Then shall they call upon me..." (Proverbs. 1:28). Perhaps this is because all wisdom and knowledge dwell in Christ (Col. 2:3). As we meditate together, we must also apply what the Lord shows us or our time in His Word will be for naught. That's the way I see things.
