Seek Wisdom

"Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For blessed are those who keep my ways.
Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me.
Watching daily at my gates.
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoever find me finds life,
and obtains favor from the Lord." Proverbs 8:32-35

So I'm reading Proverbs, and I'm in the "wisdom" section. There is SOOO MUCH in this section!

Here are some things I noticed/learned:

1. Earlier in ch8 it says, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me."---Prov 8:17. Here, Wisdom is speaking. She says she loves those who love her. She also says that those who seek her diligently will find her. So I ask myself, "Do I love wisdom? or do I seek something else? Do I DILIGENTLY seek wisdom? or is it sporadically?

2. My bible notes say that more benefits of wisdom are blessing, life, and favor. (But these benefits come from listening to wisdom, keep her ways,and hear instruction). Do I do that?

3. The person seeking wisdom should also a) WATCH DAILY at wisdom's gates; b) WAIT at the posts of wisdom's doors. Just a great picture of us going to the gates of wisdom on a DAILY basis, and then waiting for wisdom to speak to us. (Then we need to act).

I encourage you all to read Chapter 8.
