Wise Up
Lesson Title: Words of Wisdom - Solomon writes in a unique way: he gives wisdom a voice through Lady Wisdom. God wants us to think about the voice of wisdom, which calls out to everyone to listen to and learn God’s ways.
Scripture: Proverbs 3
Wonder Truth: God Wants Us to Listen to Wisdom

Foundation Building Blocks
Who: We learn from Proverbs that the search for wisdom is also the search for God, since all wisdom comes from God. The author, Solomon, even personifies wisdom as a virtuous and approachable woman. Lady Wisdom is a teacher and guide, available to all.
What: If the earlier chapters have shown that wisdom provides meaning to the ordered world of creation, Proverbs 8 also shows that wisdom is a way of looking at the world. Wisdom was with God before creation, and heeding wisdom means receiving God’s blessing.
Where: Wisdom calls out in the streets to all who will listen. She is at the city gates raising her voice. God’s wisdom isn’t contained in the palace, or even the temple. Lady Wisdom is in the most public and freely accessible spaces, where everyone can find her.
When: Wisdom is timeless, for she existed with God before the foundations of the world. Wisdom speaks of witnessing the creation of watery depths and mountains, the heavens and clouds, the sea and land (Proverbs 8:24-29).
Connecting to God’s Big Story: Wisdom rejoices over creation and mourns at sin or anything that distorts the splendor of God’s created order. Ephesians tells us that God’s wisdom is now revealed and given freely through the triumph of Jesus: A mystery once hidden and now revealed (Ephesians 1:3-10).
