Lately I've been listening to the the book for Proverbs from the Bible app on my phone.
I've found this to be a great way to catch things in God's Word you might miss by reading.
I highly recommend it!
Anyway, during this pass through Proverbs something that's stood out to me is how wisdom wants to be found.
She desires to be discovered.
And she invites us to turn to her and receive of her goodness.
She shouts in the street, Proverbs says.
She tells us to open ourselves to her correction... and promises to give us her spirit (Pr.1:20 ff).
She takes her stand where roads meet, at the gates of the city... and there offers us good judgment (Pr.8:1 ff).
Notice how wisdom makes herself known in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Right where we live, in the face of our struggles.
Isn't that where we need help the most?
Well, wisdom is there.
You just need to stop, avoid reacting according to your old habits and listen.
She'll show you what to do next.
