Proverbs, the Wisdom of God
Lady Wisdom is the personification of the wisdom of God, who assists Him in the creation of the world (Proverbs 8:22-31). The word for wisdom in the Hebrew is grammatically feminine (hokmah); therefore, wisdom is personified as a lady. In the book of Proverbs, we're getting direct information from God Himself, the one who created this world. So if He is the creator of the world, then He has the answers that we need. When we asked Him for the reply, through His guidance, He will show us what to do and how to do it. What is best is to consult God. Pray. Ask Him first. James wrote (James 1:5) that if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God. He will freely give it to us.

Now His voice is that inner voice within us. Every man has within him the spirit which we call his conscience. God blew within every man the breath of life (Genesis 2:7). In it, we all carry that candle of the Lord (Proverbs 20:27). Our spirit, man or woman will come alive with the word of God because of the spirit-to-spirit connection. When we read the word of God, the two come together, and there is agreement.

When we read the word of God, we can have a connection through the Spirit. You can also connect with other people who have the Holy Spirit, who are waking to the mind of God. There can be an agreement in the word that is spoken. It’s being aware of who is in one accord with you and the Holy Spirit. Look for that agreement with whatever is expressed in the word of God (Romans 8:16).

Lady Wisdom in the Book of Proverbs says that the beginning of wisdom is the fear and reverence of God (Proverbs 9:10). Not to be afraid of God, but it's the acknowledgment of God. That there is a God. In Hebrews 11:6, it states that without faith, it is impossible to please God. First, you must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Faith is something that we all have. Either we are going to have faith in God or going to have confidence in ourselves. We all have faith, but more than ever, we need to have faith in God. We’ve developed that desire for faith; by communicating with God, doing biblical meditation, reading and studying His word and prayer.

We must know that the word of God is real. The Bible has been fulfilling itself throughout time. When you look at what's going to happen in the future, The Bible is also revelatory (Revelation 19:10). We can listen to the Bible to know what will happen next. We can rely on the wisdom of God’s word.

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
