Welcome to the WISDOM QUEST. I’m so glad you’ve chosen to make the wisdom of God a part of your day. Remember, this is a conversation, not a monologue. I want to hear from you this month. Click on the comment below and send me your thoughts about the daily Proverb. What did you think about the sermon? Did you agree/disagree? What do you think about the election? Do you have questions about the daily Proverb or about the subject of wisdom? I will try to answer them through this blog or through the message on Sunday. I would also love to hear your story. What is God teaching you about wisdom?
Proverbs 1
Two things stand out to me as I read the Proverb. First of all, wisdom wants to be found. She is not hiding from us. “Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public square…” (v.20) Wisdom has been around our whole life. She has been in the words of our parents, the sermons of our preachers, and the honesty of a good friend. Unfortunately we haven’t always been looking for her or heeded her counsel. But today is a new day. We’re on a quest for Wisdom and we’re determined to find and obey her. Many blessings await those who do.
That brings up the second thing that stands out to me. The consequences of rejecting wisdom are not pretty. “But since you rejected me when I called…I in turn will laugh at your disaster, I will mock when calamity overtakes you like a storm.” (v.24, 26) Have you ever experienced the consequences of ignoring wisdom? I sure have and I never want to again. It leaves scars!
O Father, please give Generations Church your wisdom and give us hearts to receive it.
