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.

Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you not let love come into the hidden places of your heart so that you can learn how to be wise?”   My instruction is far more valuable than silver or gold. For the value of wisdom is far above rubies; nothing can be compared with it. Proverbs 8:10-11 TLB There are hidden places within us that block our ability to gain the wisdom that we need to move forward. These hidden places in our hearts have been overtaken by squatters that are contaminating our thoughts. Their work has been to stop the progress of God’s plan for our lives.  Some of these squatters are fear, pride, arrogance, dishonesty, lack of integrity, fear of the future, setbacks, stress, frustration, anxiety, worry, depression, pressure, and seeking approval of others, to name a few. Whenever Lady Wisdom speaks to us, these other voices contradict what she is saying. Sometimes these voices sound like a trusted friend, parent, or teacher. However, we must be able to develop the skill o

Goodness the Way to Find Life   The man who tries to be good, loving and kind finds life, righteousness, and honor. Proverbs 21:21TLB   Goodness comes from the heart. A person with a heart that is wanting to please God will want to be like God. We know that God is good. It is His nature. If we're going to be like Him, which He told us to do, then we must study how God acts in situations. Goodness is a trait that we must take the time to work out. It requires that we examine our motives and assess our thought toward the situation and people. Asking the question: Why do we do the things that we do? Is it for man’s approval, or is it from the heart? It is our responsibility to pursue doing things that please God. Treating others with kindness and helping others with acts of goodness is what will set us apart from others who say that they love God and want to follow him. People will know us by our love. Our acts of generosity will speak for us. There is a reward to followin
