Come. Forsake.
“Come. Forsake.”
Blessings folk!
Wisdom calls out.
Wisdom invites.
Give heed…
Pro 9:1-6
Wisdom has built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine;
She has also set her table;
She has sent out her maidens, she calls
From the tops of the heights of the city:
“Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!”
To him who lacks understanding she says,
“Come, eat of my food
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
“Forsake your folly and live,
And proceed in the way of understanding.”
Look at what Wisdom has done.
- Built her house
- Hewn out her seven pillars (hummm…related to seven spirits of God?)
- Prepared her food
- Mixed her wine
- Set her table
- Sent out maidens to call
Note who they call…
- naive, turn in here
- those that lack understanding
What does Wisdom want us to do?
- Come
- Eat my food
- Drink my wine
- Forsake your folly
- Live
- Proceed in the way of understanding
This is the life of Wisdom.
Which are you choosing?
Folly?
Wisdom?
