Seek Out Wisdom

Proverbs 8

This chapter discusses the call, virtues, rewards, promises of wisdom as well as its existence before creation. Solomon, speaking of wisdom writes, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me" (v. 17). Wisdom is not limited to only certain people, for anyone can obtain wisdom. However, it will only come to those who diligently seek it out. For those who dwell on the Word of God will have it impact them daily as will wisdom. Seek out wisdom and you will find it. Solomon also writes the wisdom is "better than gold, even fine gold" (v. 19a). Wisdom in itself is more profitable than even the finest gold. What lasting significance does gold have? Whereas wisdom will outlast even your own life. Wisdom will guide and protect you. Gold is a safety net, but only for material things. Wisdom will help guide you physically and spiritually.

Seek after wisdom.
