Proverbs 4-6, Wisdom Personified

 “Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.””

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Read Context

Wisdom personified is such an attractive idea…of course I want to pursue wisdom, to gain it, keep it, used it and share it.  Yet as I read, I see so clearly many ways that I continue to act like the fool!  You would think that after following Jesus for nearly 40yrs all of that would be gone by now.

Lord, help me to recognize when I am acting the fool.  Help me to repent of that foolishness and replace my thoughts or actions with a wise course of action.
