It stuck me when reading Proverbs 3 that Wisdom is described as she. The command is that man should get Wisdom not possessions. A man’s job is to provide and to protect which is a ‘me power’ instead of a God-Power. Possessions show how well he can protect and provide. So getting Wisdom goes against the grain of man. Let’s go back to the command. It says to embrace Wisdom. Here the picture of a man embracing his woman pops up in my visual mind. This getting Wisdom should be a love affair! I have heard from a good marriage where the man describes his wife as the life and the joy and the reason for living. Proverbs 3 describes Wisdom in these words as well!!!!! Also take note that God embraces Wisdom as He created the world in 6 days. The male persona is all about doing and action. God embracing Wisdom as He created is a perfect example of we are to do. Man is to embrace Wisdom and then act. True Wisdom and True Knowledge only comes by seeking her in God’s Word. Think of this as being married to Wisdom and having a deep and meaningful relationship with her. Wisdom as a female will tend to your needs. She will keep you. She will serve you well. Wisdom has the best for you. She welcomes you always.
Wow! Isn’t God such a grand Author? Ahh, Author and Finisher of our faith….
