Proverbs 9.1-6
Wisdom has no boundaries. It is not picky who it chooses. Not everyone chooses it first. It knows what it feels like to be chosen last by some. It does not have any prerequisites. It can’t choose you. It waits to be chosen.
1 Wisdom has built her house: she has carved its seven columns. 2 She has prepared a great banquet, mixed the wines, and set the table.
When wisdom is the foundation, the house built will stand. The banquet prepared is for those who need wisdom. The table is set and waiting on the guests to arrive.
3 She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come. She calls from the heights of the city. 4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple. To those who lack good judgement, she says.
The guest are the simple, those who lack good judgement. This is the way of wisdom, always urging us to the table. Wisdom wants to be learned from and applied. It is always available for us. It invites us in.
5 “Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live: learn to use good judgement.”
Here is something I have learned: Wisdom is needed at every stage in life. Simply, because it is a new season: one you have not walked before. I’ve yet to learn it all, however, I want and yearn to sit at the table to hear and understand what wisdom is telling me. Truth is imperative to this acceptance of the invitation to sit and learn. I no longer want or desire to stay where I am. There is always an area of life that needs to be changed by wisdom. Never take it lightly when wisdom is dropped in your life. The call is there. Listen. Be obedient.
Watch and see what will happen when you walk in wisdom. The call is high and requires a response.
Come quickly and sit. There is much to learn.
