My Daily Pause

 ¹² “I am wisdom, and I have good judgment.
I also have knowledge and good sense.
¹³ If you respect the Lord, you will also hate evil.
I hate pride and bragging,
evil ways and lies.
¹⁴ I have good sense and advice,
and I have understanding and power.
¹⁵ I help kings to govern
and rulers to make fair laws.
¹⁶ Princes use me to lead,
and so do all important people who judge fairly.
¹⁷ I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
¹⁸ Riches and honor are mine to give.
So are wealth and lasting success.
¹⁹ What I give is better than the finest gold,
better than the purest silver.
²⁰ I do what is right
and follow the path of justice.
²¹ I give wealth to those who love me,
filling their houses with treasures.  – Proverbs 8:12-21 NCV

Proverbs 8 is wisdom personified – Shouting loud and demanding attention. She has to, those without her discourage others from looking. She invites us to seek her both in divine and secular areas. While this passage shows us the many physical rewards of wisdom, where do we start looking for the divine? This too, God has provided! See 1 Corinthians 1:24-25 for details.
