God gives us fair warning here to follow after wisdom, to love it, so it will love us. "Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not."JTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13377580474241286817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899180705701036800.post-21266892727546658352010-05-08T12:16:59.400-05:002010-05-08T12:16:59.400-05:00As far as chapters go, Proverbs 8 is my favourite ...As far as chapters go, Proverbs 8 is my favourite (right up there with the wisdom chapter in Job too). Wisdom in this chapter is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ - so I always read it in those two senses: ie. speaking of the benefits of wisdom and speaking of our Saviour.<br /><br />Proverbs 8:10-11 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.<br /><br />The Lord is better than silver or gold, better than rubies - nothing is comparable to Him!<br /><br />Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.<br /><br />Proverbs 8:34-35 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.<br /><br />Are we listening to the Lord Jesus Christ daily - seeking Him early (ie. diligently) - are we watching daily and waiting for what He has to teach us?Jerry Boueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939572388745111915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899180705701036800.post-35276245141681920222010-05-08T09:58:39.810-05:002010-05-08T09:58:39.810-05:00How precious are His words, indeed!

My most favorite verse in this chapter is v.17: "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early SHALL find me."J.
