In Proverbs 8, we have Lady Wisdom calling out to all mankind to listen to her and follow her instructions. She calls us to choose her over gold and silver. Riches and wealth do not guarantee that we will flourish in God’s world. It is only through wisdom that we can flourish because wisdom teaches us how to do that in this world that God has made. As God created our world, he wove his wisdom into the fabric of his world and that is why true wisdom can only be found in a relationship with God.
As we come to the New Testament, we see that Jesus Christ is God’s wisdom in the flesh. True wisdom in God is about establishing a relationship with God through Christ and letting Christ’s wisdom rule in our lives. True wisdom is a Christ-empowered life through the power of the Spirit that lives for the glory of God.
