Wisdom Challenge 8 Proverbs 8 Proverbs 8 I believe is a chapter set up to give us the reader a distinct description of who she (Wisdom) is and what she likes and dislikes. With that being said I would like to hone in verses 12-22 of this chapter. “I am Lady Wisdom, and I live next to Sanity; Knowledge and Discretion live just down the street from me. The Fear–of–God means hating Evil, whose ways I hate with a passion—pride and arrogance and crooked talk. Good counsel and common sense are my characteristics; I am both Insight and the Virtue to live it out. With my help, leaders rule, and lawmakers legislate fairly; With my help, governors govern,along with all in legitimate authority. I love those who love me; and those who look for me find me. Wealth and Glory accompany me—also substantial Honor and a Good Name. My benefits are worth more than a big salary, even a very big salary; the returns on me exceed any imaginable bonus. You can find me on Righteous Road—that’s where I walk—at the intersection of Justice Avenue, Handing out life to those who love me, filling their arms with life—armloads of life! “God sovereignly made me—the first, the basic—before he did anything else. Wisdom is indeed an essential part of all who searches her out. She is so precious and valuable that the writer compares her to the most precious of jewels and Gold. It tells us to seek her out and if we do we will find her. Having Wisdom is having favor with God and Man, Having Wisdom is having the fear of God, and having Wisdom is makes you blessed. Seek Wisdom, seek Knowledge, and gain Understanding! Your life depended on it. #tfswisdomchallenge
