Proverbs 8 – Wisdom is to love Christ

 

The gates were to the entrance of the city and therefore a very public place. Solomon’s point is that the wisdom of God is available to all who will listen to and follow wisdom’s call (James 1:5). Wisdom and all its benefits (the ability to lead, plus riches, honor and righteousness) are tied to the fear of the Lord. Wisdom is linked to the eternal God. He established it before the creation and brought it forth for the creation’s use.

 

Wisdom’s first call was from the crowded city square, but now she is “where the paths meet”. When you are confronted with truth, you are at a place of decision, and the decision you make will have inevitable consequences. Keep your ears and eyes open and listen to God’s wisdom.

 

Wisdom says, “I Love those who Love me”. Love wisdom rather than wealth, for wisdom enriches you for eternity. Jesus Christ is the Wisdom of God (I Cor.1:30, Col. 2:3). To love wisdom is to love Christ, and when you love Christ, you live for Him.

 

Spend time daily at wisdom’s door as you read God’s Word and meditate on His truth. God will give you counsel, wisdom, understanding, and strength. Instead of serving as a slave, you will reign as a king.
