Proverbs 8:12-21
Wisdom continues calling, declaring her attributes, her deeds, and her virtue. She says, “I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.” (v. 17) Do we love her? Do we seek her? Even more importantly, do we love and seek the One Who is the Source of all wisdom?
I daresay that we’ll never truly find her without first finding Him. That is not to say that Christians always act wisely or that non-Christians always act foolishly. (I think we could all fairly readily think of counterexamples for both.) But as we’ve seen before, true wisdom starts with the fear of the LORD, so it is hard to imagine a truly diligent search for wisdom that maintains hostility toward God. So there’s the question: In our search for wisdom, are we looking toward or away from God?
