Today’s Focus - Proverbs 8: The Excellence of Wisdom
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Inspire Literary Group Proverbs Devotional Series! Today, we turn to Proverbs 8, a chapter that personifies wisdom as a woman calling out to humanity. With clarity and urgency, she invites us to embrace her guidance and walk in righteousness. This chapter offers a breathtaking glimpse into the timeless value of wisdom, its origins, and its role in God’s creation.
Proverbs 8 reminds us that wisdom is not hidden or elusive—it is readily available to all who seek it. Its rewards are vast, enriching every area of life and grounding us in God’s truth.
Proverbs 8: Wisdom’s Invitation
"Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her."
— Proverbs 8:10-11
In these verses, Solomon emphasizes the incomparable value of wisdom, urging us to prioritize it above all earthly treasures.
Proverbs 8: The Excellence of Wisdom (NKJV)
1 Does not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.
3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 For wisdom is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.
23 I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
35 For whoever finds me finds life,
And obtains favor from the Lord;
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.”
