Solomon explains where wisdom comes from and that it has been around longer than the earth itself.
- It is more enduring than mankind.
- It's virtues are limitless.
- It's qualities are deeper than our imaginations.
- It's benefits are unexplainable.
Well, then, it should be at the top of our spiritual shopping list, shouldn't it?
If it isn't, today is the perfect day to fix that.
Solomon uses language to describe wisdom that is similar in places to God's language in His response to Job. What strikes you as poetic or especially meaningful in this chapter?
If we are the bride of CHRIST, then don't all the adultery references apply to us when we chase after the world and it's ways rather than CHRIST and HIS Way
ReplyDeleteIt appears to me that Solomon, in personifying Wisdom as a lady, is contrasting her with the adulteress in chapter in 7.
ReplyDeleteThey are both calling me.
They both try to pull me into their home.
The Lady of Wisdom in chapter 8 even asks me to wait at HER doorway (vs. 34).
BUT, only one of these gals will take care of me long-term.
Only one provides a real future of real blessing.
