Happy Thursday! While I was reading chapter 8 of proverbs, I realized that I am pretty confused by this Lady Wisdom person who Solomon is constantly bringing up. It’s kind of weird for me to see wisdom be personified especially as a woman. Am I alone here? Chapter 8 gives Lady Wisdom the floor to speak her mind. She talks about being with God, the “master craftsman” (v.30 The Voice) and how He formed her before He established time and before “the earth saw its first sunrise” (v.23 The Voice). Who else was with God before time began? (Hint it starts with a J and ends with esus…) She also mentions that following her leads to life and to disobey will only hurt oneself and lead to death. (Also sounds like someone I know saying that!) Could Solomon be hinting about Jesus a 1000 years before he was came to the earth?
I wanted to see what the interwebs (aka google images) had on Lady Wisdom so I searched her and found this image. I liked it because it made me think of her talking because I feel like she has a lot to say.
If Lady Wisdom had a face, would this picture capture it? Selah.
