HEAR WISDOM CALL
Listen as wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice! She stands on the hilltop and at the crossroads. At the entrance to the city, at the city gates, she cries aloud, "I call to you, to all of you! I am raising my voice to all people. How naive you are! Let me give you common sense. O foolish ones, let me give you understanding. Listen to me! For I have excellent things to tell you. Everything I say is right, for I speak the truth and hate every kind of deception. My advice is wholesome and good. There is nothing crooked or twisted in it. My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those who want to learn.
Proverbs 8:1-9
Okay, I'm not going to get on the soapbox about the gender thing in this passage. Nor am I going to spend a lot of time debating the need for wisdom in our lives. It's Saturday and we all have a million things to do.
However, let's just be very much aware that God has "excellent" things to tell us. So, as we go about our duties and maybe even have a time of recreation today let's also listen to that still small voice of our Father teaching us through our circumstances. Let's hear wisdom calling out!
Lord, thank You for Saturdays. Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for the very fact that You aren't all that concerned with gender — except for child bearing!
Woes to Wows
