Breathe: Scripture Meditations
Wisdom's Call
Proverbs 8
For the month of August, Breathe will dive and embrace the wisdom scripture that is applicable to our lives in so many ways through the book of Proverbs. According to dictionary.com a Proverb is a short popular saying, usually of unknown and ancient origin, that expresses effectively some commonplace truth or useful thought. In other words, a biblical truth of advice or instruction used to illustrate moral or spiritual lessons, known as wisdom scripture.

Meditation Scripture: "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity." (Proverbs 8:17-18)

Wisdom’s Call

8 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her...,.( refer to Bible chapter for remaining scripture vs12-36)
