Evening: Psalms 10, 11; Matthew 11:7-15
The Old Testament has a strong Wisdom tradition. The story of Solomon says he asked God for Wisdom and received many other blessings besides. The Book of Proverbs prizes Wisdom and speaks of her in very personal terms: “Get wisdom ... Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you … Get wisdom, and whatever else you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honour you if you embrace her.” But ironically, if you ever think you have Wisdom, you probably don’t!
