The Gifts of Wisdom
Proverbs 3:17
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.


Both the hands of Wisdom are filled with blessings for those who come to serve her. Like the God of Wisdom she can never give enough to her devotees and worshippers. She has nothing but reward for those who love her counsels and obey her behests. As for her ways, they are like the streets of the New Jerusalem, paved with gold; and as for her paths, they are full of peace without disturbance, sacredly calm as the very security of heaven. Not only does Wisdom give with the hand — she grows, she abounds in fruitfulness, she surprises all her children with new products.

(Joseph Parker, D.D.)
