Proverbs 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. Here is a treasure of blessings! What more could you want? Lady Wisdom offers you life and God’s favor. This is the abundant life; this is the best life; this includes eternal life. Where will you look for it? Will you look where she can be found? Will you find her? Lady Wisdom is not hiding, for she is standing in open places appealing to men of all ages and stations in life (Pr 8:1-5). She encourages you to love her and seek her early – when you are young (Pr 8:17). If it is too late to be young, then you should seek her now! Proverbs chapter eight is a personification of wisdom, where Solomon presented wisdom and understanding as a woman, much like America represents freedom as Lady Liberty and weather as Mother Nature. Solomon invented Lady Wisdom to encourage you. How you treat wisdom will have great consequences in your life – for good or evil. If you seek wisdom diligently, you will be blessed (Pr 8:34). If you neglect or resent it, you must love death and want the destruction of your own soul, for it is coming (Pr 8:36). Any man and every man would say he wants an abundant life. They would also say, at worst, that the favor of the LORD could not hurt. They spend much effort, time, and resources on vain things that do not improve life, and these things also vex their spirits. Yet how many men seriously apply themselves to wisdom? Very few (Matt 7:13-14)!
