For Women Only ~ MEN too!~ Is Wisdom a "SHE"?

I'm Still talking about the lovely Wisdom. Geez, She is totally amazing!

YES! Wisdom is referred to as a " SHE"! But ladies don't get the big head! Really wisdom "is the mind of God being revealed." It is NOT a separate being! Referring to wisdom as a she "is only a literary device in order to bring wisdom Alive for us!"

Calling wisdom a "she" means that she, just like women is very strong, intelligent, compassionate and sees potential. Women also have the ability to encourage people to do great things by sharing knowledge and causing them to apply it to their lives. Like that, Wisdom has that innate ability to want to help, to nurture, like many of us (usually). Women can also be very, very convincing and creative about how we get our point across.

Though many of us have sincere hearts to help, many other women have been known to use their powers for evil. That's the difference with wisdom! Wisdom will offer her services to help better the situation without need to satisfy self! Many women seducers are only out for their own benefit. They are destructive and cannot be trusted. Wisdom can be trusted completely because she comes from God un-tainted. She comes without desires of her own. She seeks only to be obedient to God, using her powers for good intent.

Everybody, usually this column is for women only, but ladies this particular topic calls for both genders to unite on this one! Knowledge is for everyone! Wisdom is here for all of us. So welcome brothers into our world.

Ladies, my precious Sister Girls, we will go back to our regular column being just for us on next week. Thank you for your patience and allowing the guys in this time. As you know, all this week I've started devoting all of my 12 columns totally to wisdom. I've introduced to you what and who wisdom is. I've written about some of her strong points and why she exists. With wisdom, Understanding can't be too far behind. But did you know that the bible calls Wisdom and Understanding a "SHE"? Let me show you.

SCRIPTURE

Proverbs 8: 1-13

I use the Life Application Study Bible,

N.I.V. (New International Version)

Tyndale House Publisher, Inc.

Wheaton, Illinois

"Does not wisdom call out?

Does not Understanding raise her voice?

On the heights along the way,

where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

beside the gates leading into the city,

at the entrances, she cries out;

I raise my voice, to all mankind.

You who are foolish, gain understanding.

Listen, for I have worthy things to say;

I open my lips to speak what is right.

My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.

All the words of my mouth are just;

none of them is crooked or perverse.

To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge.

Choose my instruction instead of sliver,

knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom, is more precious than rubies,

and nothing you desire can compare with her."

FOOTNOTES

Proverbs 8:1

(V. 1) Wisdom's call is contrasted to the call of the adulteress in Chapter 7. Wisdom is portrayed as a woman who guides us (Proverbs 8:1-13) and makes us succeed (proverbs 8:14-21).

Wisdom was present at the creation and works with the Creator (8:22-31). God approves of those who listen to wisdom's counsel (8:32-35). Those who hate wisdom love death (8: 36). Wisdom should affect every aspect of one's life, from beginning to end. Be sure to open all corners of your life to God's direction and guidance.

Hey, I hope this helps you Dear Reader to know more about wisdom

and why you should embrace her.
