Proverbs 8

Wow!  What incredible blessings await those who find wisdom.  I’m so glad we’re on this Wisdom Quest together.  When you find something as great as wisdom, you don’t want to keep it to yourself.  Can you imagine the blessings that await Generations Church and Brunswick County if a large number of us began to “watch daily” at the doors of wisdom.  Her fruit is better than fine gold and her yield surpasses choice silver.

The Proverb seems to build like a crescendo in a musical.  It begins with wisdom’s call, moves to the blessings she bestows on those who find her, then recounts her role in the creation of the world.  I see the climax in verses 32-36.  “Now then, my sons, listen to me.”  She is about to say something very important, listen.  My prayer is that our Quest for Wisdom will not end on November 30.  I pray that we will become lifetime students in the school of wisdom.

What are you doing to gain wisdom?  What does it look like to live out verse 34?  Next Sunday I’m talking about how to obtain wisdom.  I would love to hear how you have obtained it.
