Here we have the call of wisdom and it is presented in a very personal way. Some have enough thought that wisdom here is really Jesus.

The chapter begins with the acknowledgement that the call of wisdom is all around and it is to everyone (v1-5).

At the heart of wisdom are noble truths which is the very opposite to what you get from the voice of wickedness(v5-9). Due to this wisdom is to be valued and sought more than silver, gold or precious jewels (v10-11). I wonder do you see the wisdom from God so valuable? Pray about this.

Wisdom is associated with the fear of God and the very opposite of pride and perverted speech (v12-13). The good rule by kings can only come from wisdom (v14-16). Wisdom loves and honours those who seek him (17-21).

Wisdom is not new, but tried and tested, being involved even in the amazing work of the creation of the world (v22-31). Look at the beauty and the complexity of the world around us, that is what wisdom can produce.

Blessing comes as we allow God’s wisdom to really penetrate our lives (v32-36). Are you allowing this to happen?
