Proverbs 8:1-3

"Does not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice? On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand; Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, at the entrance of the doors, she cries out" (Proverbs 8:1-3 NASB). Wisdom is readily available if we will pay attention. In Proverbs 8, wisdom is personified as a woman calling out for people to listen to her. She wants people to come to her for their good. She goes where people are—where they are conducting business, where they are going about their day to lives. She is open and forthright. Her motives are not hidden. All who are willing can hear her. The sad thing is, most ignore her pleadings and teachings. We need to pay attention to wisdom.
