1. LADY WISDOM
"LADY WISDOM goes out in the streets and shouts (aloud), at the town centres (public square) she makes her speech (raises he voice). In the middle of the traffic (at the city gate) she takes her stand (makes her speech), at the busiest corner (on top of the wall) she calls (cries) out." Proverbs 1:20&21 (MSG/NIV)
WISDOM is given PERSONALITY, like a WOMAN!
There are two valuable gifts offered to you:
1) THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM.
2) THE WORDS OF WISDOM.
They help us make the right decisions , and show us how to help others make wise decisions.
"Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts for you. I will make known to you my teachings." Proverbs 1:23 (NIV)
WISDOM says if you listen to me, I will GUIDE YOU in the right way. If you listen to me, I'll look after you. These PROMISES will follow you. It doesn't mean you won't have problems, but WISDOM will help you navigate these.
"Since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice, and do not accept my rebuke.....Then they will call to me and I will not answer; they will look for me, but will not find me." Proverbs 1:24,25&28 (NIV)
These are the consequences of "not listening to wise counsel". When you make the wrong turn in the wrong direction, THIS IS REGRET! Now you are desperate for wisdom, but it isn't TOO LATE. You may have hated knowledge at one time and not "feared the Lord", but you STILL HAVE A CHANCE. Even though you may have been complacent, wanting to follow your own way, we can ACCEPT JESUS, and HIS WISDOM and SALVATION. You have a chance for a NEW LIFE!!
"All who LISTEN TO ME WILL LIVE IN PEACE (SAFETY) , untroubled (be at ease) without fear of harm. " Proverbs 1:33 (NLT/NIV)
"We need to have a NEW RELATIONSHIP with the Lord, that helps us avoid TERROR AND PANIC. Jesus is the WISEST SAVIOUR of all, and we need to listen to the WISDOM OF HIS FATHER. He promises that we can LIVE IN SAFETY, without HARM." Paul Washer
2. WHERE WISDOM IS FOUND? - Job 28
"Where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell? No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living." Job 28:12&13 (NIV)
Wisdom and understanding are not easily found. We can only find it when we read and study SCRIPTURE. It is very precious, but it is not like "gold, silver, jewels or rubies". The only way to find it, is to KNOW GOD, for He knows where it dwells.
"God alone knows the way to WISDOM; He knows where it can be found..... the fear of the Lord is TRUE WISDOM." Job 28:23&28b (NLT)
Without the SCRIPTURES we cannot FEAR GOD, and we cannot KNOW HIM. The more we learn the Scriptures, we will GROW IN WISDOM ANND UNDERSTANDING. God will help us make the right decisions on how to live out lives. The more we have REVERENCE for our Lord , the more we FOLLOW HIS WILL, the more we will be LED TO SERVE HIS SON JESUS.
