On today’s Wisdom Wednesday, Aliyah Patrick read Proverbs 8, with special focus on Proverbs 8:32–33:
“Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.”
Tonight, we’re coming back together—not just to hear the Word, but to talk about it, reflect on it, and apply it to our lives.
Join us tonight at 7:00 PM EST for an open discussion:
What did you get out of Proverbs 8?
What did Proverbs 8:32–33 mean to you personally?
Where is wisdom speaking in your life right now?
And the deeper question: Are you listening?
PROVERBS 8 — WISDOM IS CALLING
Book of Proverbs chapter 8 presents wisdom as a voice calling out publicly—inviting us to listen, learn, choose what is right, and walk in understanding.
The chapter reminds us that wisdom is available to those willing to seek it. Wisdom speaks truth. Wisdom rejects pride, arrogance, wickedness, and deception. Wisdom is more valuable than silver, gold, and rubies. Wisdom helps us make better decisions. And wisdom leads us toward life.
But here is the challenge:
You can’t keep asking God for direction while ignoring wisdom when it speaks.
Sometimes wisdom comes through God’s Word. Sometimes through correction. Sometimes through experience. Sometimes through wise counsel. Sometimes through consequences. And sometimes through that quiet conviction telling us:
“Don’t do that again.”
“Slow down.”
“Be still.”
“Listen.”
“Choose differently this time.”
Proverbs 8:32–33 challenges us not merely to hear instruction—but to receive it and refuse it not.
