Description

Wisdom, as I somewhat interpret it, based on Proverbs 8 and 9. Many Christians lack wisdom. And I see wisdom as that woman who has all this wisdom and so much knowledge she has learned from her life and others she wants to share it with the world because their lives would be better off with wisdom and knowledge. But most ignore it. Especially at churches during my life, I see many young people who don't seem to mind living in ignorance nor have the desire to learn and improve their minds. Maybe it's an American cultural thing?

Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

Wisdom keeps us from making foolish mistakes and how to deal with difficult problems. Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the Bible for all the wisdom it has to offer.

"Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."

Proverbs 1:20-33
