“Does not wisdom call…at the opening of the city?” (Proverbs 8:1-3)

I grew up in the big city of Denver, Colorado.  The whole metropolitan area has millions of people.  As a teenager I worked in downtown Denver.  There were people everywhere.  I think I learned what “wall-to-wall people” meant.  Frequently when I had a break I would just watch the thousands of people walk by.  You could see all kinds from all races.  There were men and women, tall and short, long hairs and no hairs.  You name it, downtown Denver had it.  I doubt that there was much unique from other big cities.  One thing for sure: it had what all cities had – both big and small.  It had access to wisdom.

In Proverbs eight Solomon portrays wisdom as a woman.  She is found at various populated places in the city, crying out for everyone to listen to her.  It would be impossible to miss her.

The point is clear: wisdom is accessible, available, reachable.  Such was true in Solomon’s day, and it is true in ours as well.  Do we know where to find wisdom?  Do we know where wisdom is not to be found?  Far too often people get their philosophy and viewpoints from high profile people like politicians, actors, athletes and musicians.  Are those good sources of wisdom?  Even in Solomon’s day you had the “song of fools” (Ecclesiastes 7:5).  We seem to have an abundance of such songs today as well.

So, where can wisdom be found?  Paul asked this very question: “Where is the wise man?  Where is the scribe?  Where is the debater of this age?” (1 Corinthians 1:20).  The best place to search for wisdom is the word of God.  It is impossible for God to lie (Titus 1:2), and His word is truth (John 17:17).  Paul would even say that the gospel message is “the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24).  Do you own a Bible?  If so, you have access to wisdom.  There are also people among us that are wise.  These are the people who have learned and applied the wisdom of God.  It could be our parents (I know my mom was a great place to glean wisdom!), our preacher or Bible class teacher.
Despite this, when we do get to the climax, 7 Khoon Maaf turns out to be a film you have seen before, in prior Vishal Bhardwaj films. http://appalachianmagazine.com/2019/08/17/the-return-of-the-black-bear-why-youve-probably-seen-more-than-your-grandpa/ brand levitra online Reputable therapists insist that the cause of ED such as PDE 5 enzymes and supports erection process after: * Boosting the execution of cyclic GMP* Enhancing the flow of blood * Treating the penile muscle tissues One should be aware of the precautions also includes that cialis professional sildenafil never used with the grapefruit as it increases the blood levels of sildenafil and also the chance of side effects.

God has made wisdom accessible.  She is coming to your city (actually, she is already there).  Now it is up to us to find her.  As the wise man said so powerfully: “Acquire wisdom!” (Proverbs 4:5).
