Come and Get It

Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
Proverbs 8:1

This last Sunday I talked about how the only way to develop a hope that is solid is to develop a daily dependence on God. And the way to develop that dependence is to connect with Him every day. I gave out an assignment for the next thirty one days–which I hope you are all doing–to start your day off reading one chapter in the book of proverbs.

Why did I send you to Proverbs? Well, the simple answer would be that since there are 31 days in most months, and that each chapter is short, that is the easiest reading plan. While there is something to that, the real reason is that reading the book of Proverbs imparts something that does not come naturally: wisdom.

In today’s Proverb, our Wisdoms speaks to us saying, “I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.” Wisdom doesn’t come automatically, we have to seek it out.

The question is, are you a seeker of wisdom?
