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
Is wisdom really as
audible and attention-getting as depicted in the
passage above?
Practical
help
Maybe a better question
is: Do we hear wisdom's voice, given her efforts to
catch our ear?
Some of us porn watchers think
God should supply effective escapes when we're
tempted. But, given the passage above, what more can
God do? His wisdom pursues us, then shouts at us in
life's major intersections. Our ongoing smut habit is
not due to his silence but to our plugged
ears.
Are we reading what he says to
us in Scripture? Are we listening?
