In a different dimension, wisdom does reside
Far from the proud and ignorant, she chooses there to hide
But, for those who call on her in humility and fear
She’ll answer when they call and suddenly appear

Wisdom calls out on the heights along the way
“You who are simple, listen, for I have something to say
Blessed is the man who longs for what is true
Nothing you desire can compare to wisdom’s view”

“Knowledge, prudence, and sound judgment are mine
Understanding I give when our spirits align
Riches and honor, I bestow upon those
Who walk in wisdom and with mercy overflows”

“Your love for God produces a powerful story
Wisdom displayed, releasing God’s power and glory
Blessed is the man watching daily at my doors
Whoever finds me finds life and favor forevermore”

Proverbs 9:10 – “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

James 3:17 – “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”

Proverbs 8
Job 28:12-28

James 3:13-17 talks about two kinds of wisdom. He describes an earthly wisdom in which pride, envy and selfish ambition motivate your heart. He says this wisdom does not come from heaven, but is earthly, unspiritual and from the devil.
The wisdom that comes from heaven has good fruit. It is pure, peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy, impartial and sincere.
Both of these wisdoms have a voice. The one we follow shows what’s in our heart. Which one do you hear calling out to you? Which one do you want to answer to?
