Proverbs 8...
Proverbs 8 is a revelation of God and the Wisdom of God.(which are one) Just to begin understanding that His Word,(logos) was from the beginning and was with God, and The Word was God(V23) (John 1:1) is a revelation. Throughout the chapter wisdom is speaking, which is the voice of God Himself. V7 "For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. v8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. v9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge."
When we start receiving Godly wisdom, it is priceless. V11 "For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it." How deep is that? NOTHING is comparable to the value of gaining The Wisdom of God.
Verses 22 through 31 shows how wisdom was present as the earth was formed, when the heavens were prepared, 'Wisdom', was there,(verse 27).
In verses 32 through 35 we see wisdom speaking, yet it is God Himself speaking.
"Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord."
May The Lord help us see the value and importance of getting His Word in our hearts, and give us an insatiable hunger for Wisdom.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
