32“And now, O sons, listen to me:
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
34Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.–Proverbs 8
The wisdom of God is personified in this chapter as a lady. Remember, the book of Proverbs is poetry and poetry uses various artistic ways to express its message. You are either following what Lady Wisdom is teaching or you are not. Here is a simple way to see where you stand in your daily living. Read the following verses and then briefly analyze all parts of your life. They flow from the inside out.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. (Romans 6:12-13)
- THOUGHTS
- FEELINGS

May God bless this time of introspection and inventory. May your daily living reflect God’s wisdom. I also need to remain biblically intentional and disciplined in these six parts of my own life. Happy Friday to you all.–JMB
