Friday!

Proverbs!

For the Lord gives wisdom; 

from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;

for wisdom will come into your heart, 

and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

Proverbs 2:6-10 NRSV

This is the middle of a long piece of writing about Wisdom, still seems to be part of the introduction to the Proverbs themselves.

This passage reinforces the source of Wisdom, and repeats what Wisdom can do in the life of a community or a person.

The heart of God is revealed not in that Wisdom will become something pleasant for us, but in what we will understand:

Righteousness 

Justice

Equity

Good paths.

These ideas are bigger than me, bigger than my life, but speak to "us", God's heart for People, for us to live in community, together, widsom calls us to righteousness, 

calls us to justice,

calls us to equity, 

invites us onto Good Paths...

To do that Wisdom may need to do some shaping, some challenging, some encouraging, some teaching...are you in?
