Proverbs 1:20 - Wisdom shouts in the street,
She lifts her voice in the square;
We have so many messages calling out to us today. We have to remember that when Solomon wrote these Proverbs there was no "mass" media, no billboards, no texting, no internet, no newspaper, no 280 channels on a dish, no magazines, no words on t-shirts, hats or boxers. However, in Solomon's day folly called out with as much vengeance as today in her endeavor to drown out Wisdom. But, wisdom is not to be undone. She calls out with the necessary intensity so that "all" hear her. She is in the plain open street ... in the square (a reference to where all business and community activities took place). Wisdom, however, do not look like folly. The eye of man is attracted to folly. The attraction of Wisdom is only seen through the eye of the Spirit. So, to see wisdom you have to exercise the eye of the Spirit and your sensitivity to the Spirit. The Spirit sees wisdom in the noise of the world. The Spirit can sort through the mass voices of evil and calls out to all. Heed the call.
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
