Wisdom

Wisdom comes from God

Wisdom is more than knowledge, but actually living according to knowledge given (1-6)

Receive, hear, attain, understand

Not just knowing but following

Wisdom is a fear of God (7)

Trusting that he knows what is best for us

Trusting that a life lived for him is best and one lived without him will bring sure destruction

Wisdom is not the only voice

God has given good sources of wisdom

Our parents (8-9)

It is our responsibility to seek out those good sources

Sinners are crying out for you to join them (10-19)

They offer many possessions and pleasures

But their end is desctruction

But wisdom is calling (20-23)

It is not silent but desires for us to follow after it

It rebukes us in our wickedness

Will we turn and follow after wisdom?

Wisdom forsaken has great consequences

The first consequence is timely desctruction (24-27)

folly leads to destruction

It will come suddenly

Wisdom will laugh at you just as you laughed at wisdom

The second consequence is silence at the end (28-32)

if you desregard wisdom dont expect wisdom to save you at the end

Turn before it is to late

follow after wisdom now

Wisdom has great promises

if you follow there will be reward

no destruction

no fear

no evil
