Bible Commentary

Proverbs 8:1

Wisdom is not hidden or secret — she actively seeks out people to hear her. God's wisdom is available and reaching out to us.

Memory phrase: Wisdom calls out to everyone.

Talk about it: If wisdom were calling your name right now, what do you think she would say to you?

Prayer: God, help me hear wisdom calling. Open my ears so I do not miss it.
