Proverbs 8

Good Morning,

I'm going to do something a bit different this morning. Well, actually it will be greatly different from what I normally send along. My friend Allen sent me his daily e-mail, "The Encouraging" word, and it contained a verse from Proverbs. Actually, it was Proverbs 8:34, "Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors." As I often do, I looked at all of chapter 34 to see the context of this verse. As I read the chapter, it's not really that long and only took me a few minutes, I saw that He who was speaking the words that I read in this chapter was Jesus...through Solomon, of course. Verse 1 reads, "Does not wisdom cry out?..." Wisdom, as is mentioned in several places in the New Testament, is Jesus. ("My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Col. 2:2-3). Sorry for this long introduction. But I thought it wise to set the "scene" for us.

All I was told and instructed today is that we read this chapter of Proverbs. Yes, ALL of it! No comment on it from me. None is necessary. God wants to speak to us. ALL of us.
