Wisdom

We all know Solomon often depicts Wisdom as a woman. They also did in the book THE SHACK where the guy meets God in person. In the very first Proverb in the book, Wisdom makes clear what happens to the ones who embrace her, and the ones that reject her. She said, "The waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them." But then she says, "But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." Well it makes sense! If you be wise, you're safe. If you be stupid, you're not.

But get WHERE wisdom calls out! It hit me for the first time as I read it today... "at the head of the noisy streets". Hmmm... it's no little voice while you're in bed at night - wisdom calls out in the middle of our everyday lives, urging us to make the right choice! There's another Proverb where she's on the roof of a house yelling for people to leave their simple ways. Wisdom is ALWAYS calling, but sometimes when I'm set on doing this stupid thing I choose not to hear it.

Today, keep an eye out for where Wisdom might be standing yelling!
