Proverbs 8
For me the relevance is that daily I should go to God FIRST and not be distracted by earthly or worldly matters. I often say these matters are more important than God...again sin!
My Prayer: Lord, You are Truth and You are the Way. I need to go to You first and foremost above all other pursuits. I confess to You however that I don't and I worry too much about these worldly pursuits. Please forgive me Jesus. Help me strengthen my faith.
1Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
