Consider Proverbs chapter 8 for an examination of the precious value of wisdom. Proverbs chapter 8 starts out with declaring that wisdom is crying out to be heard in order to help the simple to have a better life. Does not wisdom cry? Does not understanding put forth her voice? Wisdom stands in the top of the high places desiring to be seen. Wisdom is there in the wayside by the important paths. Wisdom cries at the gates of the cities wherein men might enter into the doors of safety and opportunity. Wisdom says: Unto you, O men, I call and my voice is to the sons of man. O you simple, I would that you would understand wisdom. You fools , be you of an understanding heart. Hear, for I will speak of excellent things. The opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall only speak of truth. There is nothing crooked or evil in any of my communications, which are plainly simple and easy to understand. My instructions are better than silver and choice gold. Yeah, my wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that could be desired are not worthy to be compared to my wisdom. I help people find out witty inventions. Riches and honor are with me; yea, even durable riches and righteousness. My fruit of wisdom is better than fine gold choice silver. I will cause those who love me to inherit property or substance so that I may fill their treasures. The Lord God Almighty possessed me in the beginning of HIS ways of setting up creation. When a man or woman fills that that he or she lacks wisdom, they may ask God for wisdom. HE will not withhold wisdom from them. James 1:5. Think of this in its most impactful connection to us. The same wisdom that the Lord God Almighty used to create all of creation can live inside of us to work for our best benefits.
