Proverbs 8:4-5 “Unto you O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.”
Solomon is very specific about Wisdom. He does not speak to the angels; they don’t need it. The many animals of the world can not use it. Only man can build his knowledge into wisdom. Understanding is only for the ones who can be saved! The naïve or simple can understand wisdom by reading the Word and applying it to their own situations.
Even the fools who have no desire for God or His wisdom have access through feelings. These feelings that often mislead us can also turn us to God by applying the lessons gleaned from our conscience. When we look at nature we can see God; when we look at heartache we can often see God as the only escape from ourselves.
Lord, we love You today and pray that all men have open access to You. Regardless of men’s thoughts our minds can be turned to You. Lead us, Lord, to discover and share Your ways always. For Your service we live. Amen.
