God’s Wisdom Is Calling
June 2nd, 2025
Proverbs 1:20-27
God’s wisdom is personified as Woman Wisdom. She is a street preacher, preaching God’s message of repentance to those passing by on the streets, busy doing business in the shops and places of business.
Woman Wisdom is no timid soul. She “raises her voice” (v. 20) above the din of traffic and other voices. Most ignore her. Some do stop and listen, but their hearts do not hear her. Among them are the “simple,” the immature, those who do not yet know the hard lessons of life, the betrayals of friends and business partners. Others are the “mockers,” those who, with delight, throw the street preacher’s call to repentance back in her face. Still others are “fools,” the know-it-alls who believe they already know all they will ever need to know. They actually “hate knowledge” (v. 22).
You who are reading this: Are you content to coast along in life as it is? Are you one who mocks the preacher’s call to repentance? Or maybe you are content with the knowledge you now have? Allow God to change your heart and you “will learn the truth”; you will “escape from the devil’s trap” (2 Timothy 2:25-26).
