Day 8 - When you find me, you find life, real life

My thoughts on today's reading:

Salomon describes wisdom as a lady. Interesting, hug? Now comparing it to what I wrote about yesterday this is a woman you must seek. This requires intention as stated on this chapter. Where can we find wisdom? Definitely in the Proverbs of Salomon but there are many place were we can find wisdom like books, blogs, podcast, you name. Just make sure you're reading from a trusted source. Some words I find which Salomon uses when talking about wisdom:

Listen
Discipline
Sanity
Common Sense
Insight
Truth
Good counsel
Righteousness
Justice

My favorite verses:

Proverbs 8 MSG

So, my dear friends, listen carefully;
those who embrace these my ways are most blessed.
Mark a life of discipline and live wisely;
don't squander your precious life.
Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to me,
awake and ready for me each morning,
alert and responsive as I start my day's work.
When you find me, you find life, real life,
to say nothing of God's good pleasure.
But if you wrong me, you damage your very soul;
when you reject me, you're flirting with death.
