Proverbs 8:1-7

How many times have we been the victim of charming words and false flattery? Bound by something created to trap us in lies and deceptions....  it can take years to see the truth and untold misery before its end. When we hear God speak we need to listen even if we don’t understand the totality of the situation.....He does!

Wisdom wants to reach everyone and therefore broadcasts her message publicly, unlike the immoral woman, who uses privacy and deception to achieve her goals. Wisdom’s words can be trusted, and her offers of grace are beneficial. Her words of truth contrast with the lies of wickedness; wisdom will deliver on her promises; she is not a tawdry tease. What wisdom offers is of inestimable worth, far more valuable than silver and gold; no gems or other desirable things may be compared with it.

Proverbs 8:1-7

8 Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice? 
² She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, 
Beside the way, where the paths meet. 
³ She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, 
At the entrance of the doors: 
⁴ “To you, O men, I call, 
And my voice is to the sons of men. 
⁵ O you simple ones, understand prudence, 
And you fools, be of an understanding heart. 
⁶ Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, 
And from the opening of my lips will come right things; 
⁷ For my mouth will speak truth; 
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
