Passage: Proverbs 8:1-4*

1. Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

2. On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3. beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:

4. "To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.

Question

What is wisdom's temperament as seen in the passage above?

 

Practical help

No shrinking violet, this wisdom woman.

Check out her bold appeal for listeners at the busiest intersections. So much for writing off wisdom as hard to hear and hard to find.

Wisdom's in-you-face style is good news for us porn strugglers. When we look for smart ways to avoid porn, they'll be simple enough to find, even unavoidable. Maybe smut filters. Maybe accountability groups. Maybe the computer's off switch.

Make a list of obvious porn avoidance options, then implement some of them.

They're calling for your attention as loud as they can.
