WISDOM
Wisdom of Solomon 6:12-16 (not in Protestant Bible)
Wisdom is radiant and unfading
And is easily perceived by those who love her;
For she is found by those who seek her.
She comes upon those who long to know her beforehand.
He who rises early in the morning to seek her
Will not grow weary,
For he will find her sitting at his gates.
For to think deeply about her
Is the perfection of discernment,
And he who keeps watch for her
Will soon be free from worry;
Because she goes about seeking those worthy of her,
And she appears to them favorably in their paths
And meets them in every thought.
Encouraging Words
Wisdom is a critical thing for us to all pursue and embrace.
In the early church (A.D. 30 – A.D 200), the church fathers articulated, and codified, that the references to Wisdom were references to Jesus. Remember, Jesus is the personification of God’s wisdom. This passage provides clear examples of how to find wisdom and how it will be manifested. Glory be to God!
