Wisdom Calls Aloud

Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city. (Proverbs 1:20)

The wisdom God offers His children is spirit, and it must be received in the spirit. The Lord gives His counsel and guidance to His children because He loves us, and we receive that counsel because we love Him. He stores wisdom up for us, and it is an endless supply of His favor and His willingness to show us the way in which we ought to live. 

The complexities of life are such that we need the loving voice of our Heavenly Father to guide us through the seasons. His guidance is a wellspring of health that blesses us and everyone around us. When we receive His wisdom, we bring grace and light to every situation, and God is glorified in us.

Wisdom is the dividing line between those who truly belong to God and all others — between the works of God and those of the flesh. That is because wisdom is spiritual, and it is only manifest in Jesus Christ and those who follow Him closely. 

When worldly wisdom encroaches upon the church, she loses her life and substitutes her own goodness for the goodness of a holy God. That is the state of many in the church who present a form of godliness but have none of the power and wisdom of heaven. Yet, our Lord patiently waits for us to respond to His call to come to Him for wisdom — to come to Him for Christ. Jesus is the wisdom of God. Come.

Let's Pray - Lord, I will respond to Your call to receive wisdom. I want to live a life that is directed by You and Your divine counsel. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
