Wisdom walks with God. Wisdom chases after God. Wisdom finds its joy and its satisfaction in who He is, and it trusts Him for what He’s done. Wisdom honors God, and it enjoys the blessings of God.

Proverbs teaches us to pursue wisdom, but how do we know that we will find it? Here in Proverbs 2, Solomon gives us the answer. He teaches us that wisdom comes from God that He is a glad giver to those who seek Him.

In our passage last week, Solomon urged us to hear his instruction. He opened his heart and his voice to us, calling us to pay attention to what he has to say.

Lady Wisdom is speaking to us, and we must listen.
