Proverbs 8:1-5 – Wisdom Calls for a Hearing #1

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 250 of our trek, and today we continue to remain at camp as we search for the nuggets of wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. Yesterday we finished exploring Proverbs 7:21-27, which was the story of the naïve young man who made several unwise life choices leading him toward the path of destruction. Since each day’s trek builds on the previous one, if you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has been a rainy couple of days for us with some localized flooding. In addition to our usual client workload, we are working on the final formatting and proofing of Volume 1 of the Wisdom-Trek Journal. The first volume will provide us a guideline and template for the other volumes, so hopefully creating subsequent volumes will be much quicker. Our objective is to produce a volume for each month. So far we have completed 8 months of Wisdom-Trek.

As mentioned on previous days, Paula and I are also refining all of these daily concepts along with worksheets for Your Life Plan Blueprint, which we covered in January, into an easy-to-use workbook. I will let you know when these projects are complete so that you can download them.

Today we remain at camp sitting around the campfire, far away from lights and the noise of our everyday life, which provides an opportunity to relax and listen to the sounds of the woods. This is especially true during the night when an entirely new set of sounds emerge. We need to practice listening to what is important. As we are listening, it provides us with the opportunity to consider the words of the woman called Wisdom and Understanding in chapter 8 and 9.  The title of this section is…

Wisdom Calls for a Hearing

This is the second of Solomon’s three great poems. Wisdom, represented as a woman, gives a speech to all the people. We all will do well to listen to what she has to say. Let’s begin with Proverbs 8:1-5.

¹ Listen as Wisdom calls out!
    Hear as understanding raises her voice!
² On the hilltop along the road,
    she takes her stand at the crossroads.
³ By the gates at the entrance to the town,
    on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
⁴ “I call to you, to all of you!
    I raise my voice to all people.
⁵ You, simple people, use good judgment.
    You, foolish people, show some understanding.

In verse 1, there are not two women. Wisdom is one woman, but she has two names. Her names are Wisdom and Understanding. This is because wisdom is the same thing as understanding. Right decisions and accurate knowledge are also an indication of wisdom.

Wisdom ultimately comes from God, but it does not come immediately. We need to learn to be wise. This is a slow process. Each day, we should learn new lessons. God teaches us in different ways. Sometimes he teaches us from the Bible. Sometimes he uses other people to teach us. Sometimes he uses life’s experiences, nature or other methods to teach us. This concept is the entire premise for Wisdom-Trek.

It takes many years of life experiences and God’s teaching for us to obtain wisdom. I still pray every day for wisdom, because you never can become “all wise” – that is reserved for God. The really neat aspect of gaining wisdom is that God promises to provide us with wisdom. All we have to do is ask. James 1:5-6 says, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.” So that is the solution. Need wisdom? Ask God.

Let’s take a journey back to the time when Solomon wrote this poem so we can understand the context or setting for the woman Wisdom. The title of this poem is Wisdom Calls for a Hearing.  This is in reference to a court hearing or trial where the lawyer would present his case. The reference to the “city gate” in verse 3 is an important reference for the context or setting of this poem.

In the culture of the day when Proverbs was written and even in many cultures of today, the city gate was/is very important. Besides being part of a city’s protection against invaders, city gates were places of central activity in Biblical times. It was at the city gates that important business transactions were made, court was convened, and public announcements were heralded. Accordingly, it is natural that the Bible frequently speaks of “sitting in the gate” or of the activities that took place at the gate. In Proverbs 1:21, Wisdom is personified in a similar way, “She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate.” To spread her words to the maximum number of people, Wisdom took to the gates.

In addition to the actual trial being conducted at the city gates, there would be those individuals that would shout important announcements about upcoming events or trials – think about it as the town crier. They would position themselves on the hilltops, major crossroads, and the roads leading into the city to make sure that anyone who was interested would be able to find out about these important events.  This was their form of “tweets, Facebook posts, Google+ shares, and emails” and any of the dozens of other means by which we spread the word via our modern day social media platforms.

Wisdom’s upcoming hearing presentation is so important that she wanted to use all means available to get the word out to everyone. In verse 4, the woman Wisdom calls out to everyone. She raises her voice to all people. This hearing is too important to miss. In verse 5, she encourages even the simple and foolish people, who would usually not desire wisdom, to use good judgment and show understanding.

I mentioned on previous days of our Wisdom-Trek, Solomon uses special meanings for the words “simple” and “foolish.”

The “fool” is proud and lazy. He does not want to serve God. He hates wisdom. He prefers to do evil things. If you try to teach a fool, he will hate you. He will only learn if God changes him.

The “simple” person does not know what is right or wrong. He has not learned to be wise. He chooses to do evil things, because “everybody does it.” But you can teach a simple person. A simple person can learn to be wise.

Wisdom’s hearing is so important that no one should be excluded. The rich and famous, the poor and outcast, the simple and the foolish, everyone is to gather at the city gates immediately to hear what Wisdom has to proclaim.

Are you ready and willing to listen to Wisdom’s hearing before the gate? Once you learn what is right, just, and fair, you will be without excuse. Tomorrow we will remain in camp and continue in Chapter 8 as Wisdom begins to present her case to us. So, encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our podcast for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, I encourage you to help us promote Wisdom-Trek in the following four ways:

Proverbs [7:21]-27 – Another Warning About Immoral Women #4

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 249 of our trek, and today we continue to remain at camp as we search for the nuggets of wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. Yesterday we explored Proverbs 7:10-20. Since each day’s discussion builds on the previous one, if you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

As mentioned on previous days, Paula and I are refining all of these daily concepts along with worksheets for Your Life Plan Blueprint, which we covered in January, into an easy to use workbook. I will let you know when it is complete so that you can download it.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The hours each day just fly by, and before I realize how much time has passed, it is time for me to make dinner. Dinner preparation is a time for me to sort of wind down from the day. I really enjoy preparing dinner, and we do strive to eat healthy each day. It is part of our overall life plan to remain physically, mentally, and spiritually fit for a long time into the future. It does take consistent persistence as we pursue our life purpose to be difference makers in our world. We had our son Fred over for dinner Tuesday evening, and it was a good time to get caught up with his daily life and routines.

Let’s now return to camp for a time of sharing and telling stories around the campfire. The fire dancing off the logs is mesmerizing to me, and it is easy to get lost in my thoughts. As the flames reach for the sky and the smoke is blown back and forth in the light breeze, it reminds me of the story that we will continue with today from Proverbs Chapter 7.

The title of the story we began 3 days ago is…

Another Warning about Immoral Women

Yesterday we left off on our story about a simple, naïve young man who finds himself in the embrace of a beautiful woman who is very convincing. She is dressed seductively and tells this young man that she has prepared her bed specifically just for him. The young man finds himself in this situation because of the choices that he made earlier that evening. He may be thinking that this is where he really desires to be. We are told that he lacks common sense, and certainly he is thinking with his body and not his mind… But, he still has a choice. Does he stay, or does he flee? Let’s continue on to see how the story unfolds in Proverbs [7:21]–27. I will break this passage into two sections.

· Chapter 7

Unfortunately, he does not flee as we continue in verse 21-23:

²¹ So she seduced him with her pretty speech
    and enticed him with her flattery.
²² He followed her at once,
    like an ox going to the slaughter.
He was like a stag caught in a trap,
²³     awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.
He was like a bird flying into a snare,
    little knowing it would cost him his life.

We see that the naïve young man chose to remain. The woman’s seductive, pretty speech was more than he felt he could resist. She enticed him with flattery making him think that he was really something special in her eyes. This reminds me of Proverbs 5:3, “For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.” She appeared to be both sweet and smooth.

Any time we make unwise choices the outcome of those choices is never what we thought they would be. In this story, we see this simple man lead away for the slaughter, he was caught in her trap and does not realize that it could literally cost him his life. While all sin grieves God, physical or sexual sins seem to have a deeper impact on us. That is because it involves our body, mind, and soul. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 tells us to, “Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”

Let’s move on to our story to the last four verses of Proverbs 7:

²⁴ So listen to me, my sons,
    and pay attention to my words.
²⁵ Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her.
    Don’t wander down her wayward path.
²⁶ For she has been the ruin of many;
    many men have been her victims.
²⁷ Her house is the road to the grave.
    Her bedroom is the den of death.

Solomon encourages his sons to pay attention and learn from the story that he shared with them. As we look at verse 25, remember that heart and mind are used interchangeably in the Bible. We see that he first tells them that they must control their minds because that is where sin is always planted first. If they do not control their minds, then their actions will follow…They will end up wandering down her wayward path.

It is very clear here that the naïve young man was not special to her because she has been the ruin of many, many men have been her victims. In fact, her house was the road to the grave, and her bedroom was stacked full of the bodies of men that she had brought down, which brings to mind Proverbs 30:20, “An adulterous woman consumes a man, then wipes her mouth and says, “What’s wrong with that?”

Were these men innocent? Absolutely not! If it were not for men’s foolish decisions, there would be no prostitution. They are clearly without excuse. Do not ever blame anyone else for your unwise choices and the sin that results.

It all starts with the mind. Philippians 4:8 says, “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

Let this story of the simple, naïve young man, who lacked common sense, teach us the lessons that we need to learn for life. Remember both wise and unwise choices, sin and right living, all stem from what we plant into our mind. Plant good seed, and you will reap a harvest of right living. Tomorrow we will remain in camp and move onto Proverbs Chapter 8 as Wisdom Calls for a Hearing before the court. So, encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our podcast for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, I encourage you to help us promote Wisdom-Trek in the following four ways:

Proverbs [7:10]-20 – Another Warning About Immoral Women #3

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 248 of our trek, and today we will remain at camp as we search for the nuggets of wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. Yesterday we explored Chapter 7:6-9. Since each day’s discussion builds on the previous one, if you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

As mentioned on previous days, Paula and I are refining the daily concepts along with worksheets for Your Life Plan Blueprint, which we covered in January, into an easy to use workbook. I will let you know when it is complete so that you can download it.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. As expected, this week is keeping us very busy with life activities including work of course. We do not necessarily separate our work from other life activities since we look at each of the 7 areas of our lives as an integrated holistic entity. Our aim is to maintain a balanced Wheel of Life because a balanced life will allow us to live a full life that is rich and satisfying.

For most of us, to sit around a campfire on a pleasant summer evening chatting about life, reminiscing about the past, and dreaming about the future is one of the most enjoyable times of relaxing and living a full life. As we think about the stories told, we also realize that there are some people who are living a story that will not end well. Such is the case in the story that we are continuing with today in Proverbs Chapter 7.

The title of the story we began 2 days ago is…

Another Warning about Immoral Women

Yesterday we left off on our story with a simple, naïve young man, who lacks common sense, heading down a path that was not good for him. He started off with a group of his equally naïve friends, but apparently when he crossed the street, he went alone. We find him continuing down this street at dusk attracted to the nightlife. As mentioned yesterday, he made two conscious choices that led him to his current situation. One, he went out as night was approaching seeking fun, and two, he crossed the street to an area of town that was not a good environment to be in. Let’s continue on to see how the story unfolds in Chapter [7:10]-20. We will break it into shorter segments to adequately cover the passage.

· Chapter 7

¹⁰ The woman approached him,
    seductively dressed and sly of heart.
¹¹ She was the brash, rebellious type,
    never content to stay at home.
¹² She is often in the streets and markets,
    soliciting at every corner.

The description in these three verses would indicate that this woman knew exactly how to dress and act to attract young naïve men. She was probably very attractive and would easily catch the wandering eye of anyone in the area. It is also evident this was not her first night on the streets. She was a professional at her craft. She had a rebellious heart, and a rebellious heart is the beginning of a wayward life. Let’s continue on.

¹³ She threw her arms around him and kissed him,
    and with a brazen look she said,
¹⁴ “I’ve just made my peace offerings
    and fulfilled my vows.
¹⁵ You’re the one I was looking for!
    I came out to find you, and here you are!

This woman knows all of the ways both physically and with her words to make herself very attractive to any man but especially to young men seeking adventure and pleasure. This is compounded by the fact that this young man was simple, naïve, and lacking common sense. She flatly lies to him. She was not looking for this man, but anyone who was naïve enough to believe her lies. She attempts to make her lies more believable by tying religious acts into her preparation through peace offerings and vows. The man might have thought, “Wow, it must be ok she is religious, plus she was looking just for me.” How foolish men can be at times when they think with their bodies and not their minds. She continues to seduce him.

¹⁶ My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,
    with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
¹⁷ I’ve perfumed my bed
    with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
¹⁸ Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.
    Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,
¹⁹ for my husband is not home.
    He’s away on a long trip.
²⁰ He has taken a wallet full of money with him
    and won’t return until later this month.”

If there was any doubt in this young man’s mind up to this point, she is making it very clear what her intentions are. Her bed was ready, she was ready, and there was no chance of them getting caught. She indicated that she was married but that her husband would be gone for a long time. If she was paid for her services, she wanted the young man to know that she was available for many nights and that he did not have to worry about an angry and jealous husband finding out. What a dangerous trap is being set. If the young man were wise, he would flee as quickly as possible. This young man should have followed the advice of Paul in his 2^nd letter to Timothy in 2:22, “Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.”

Tomorrow we will discover the decision that he made. Was he in the wrong place at the wrong time? Certainly he was, but it was clearly because of the choices he made before this. Yet, if he really desired to, he could escape even at this point.

Temptation to any type of sin can draw all of us in. As moths are drawn to our campfire, all of us are prone to be drawn to sin’s fire. We must prepare in advance and not wait to be caught in the flames of passion, alcohol, drugs, food, or laziness. Instead, let us pursue right living, faithfulness, love, and peace through the companionship of those who have the same desire. Every sin first begins in the mind, and if we allow it to grow it will break through our minds into action.

Tomorrow we will continue to see how the story of this naïve and simple young man plays out. Will he run, or will he stay?  We will continue with Chapter 7 verse 21.  So, encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our podcast for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, I encourage you to help us promote Wisdom-Trek in the following four ways:

Proverbs 7:6-9 – Another Warning About Immoral Women #2

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 247 of our trek, and for the next several days, we will be remaining at camp as we search for the nuggets of wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. Yesterday we explored Chapter 7:1-5. If you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. We traveled back to Charlotte on Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, the weather had moderated, which allowed for a cool, but beautiful trip south. Our schedule for this week is full, as usual, with many life events. Even though we are now in February, we are continuing to fine tune aspects of our life plan for 2016. Life planning is an on-going process as we take each day and week and make minor course corrections to our overall plan.

We are gathered around the campfire today, and we see the logs burning and crackling before us. If you are like me, I enjoy poking at the burning logs and watching the sparks fly into the air and smelling the scent of the logs as they burn. If you are not careful, though, it is easy to get too close and get burned or get smoke into your eyes blinding you with a sudden shift of the wind.  This is a perfect analogy to our story today in the 7^th Chapter of Proverbs. Let’s dig for the nuggets of wisdom contained in this chapter. We do not have to dig very deep to gain understanding.

The subject of today’s passage is:

Another Warning about Immoral Women

· Chapter 7

⁶ While I was at the window of my house,
    looking through the curtain,
⁷ I saw some naive young men
    and one in particular who lacked common sense.
⁸ He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,
    strolling down the path by her house.
⁹ It was at twilight, in the evening,
    as deep darkness fell.

The story begins here in verse 6. Solomon was watching the people. He was watching because he knew how easy it is for people to make unwise choices. He wanted to see the reason that other people made mistakes. He wanted to understand more. He wanted to become wiser so that he could better advise those who were being tempted.

In verse 7, Solomon saw a young man who was naïve or “simple.” (See Day 246 for insights on a simple person.) This young man had not learned to be wise. He was in danger because he was not wise. He lacked common sense, and it was easy to tempt him. He did not think about what was right.

As we consider verse 8, we want to shout to the young man, “Stop!” This simple young man made an unwise choice by crossing the street and then found himself on the wrong path. He may have rationalized to himself that he was just crossing the street to get a closer look, but it would not hurt him. Sort of like getting a bit too close to the campfire. Remember anytime we rationalize our actions we are telling ourselves rational lies. We may convince ourselves that it is ok, but that does not make it so. He chose to cross the street which was clearly a naïve choice. Down that path, there was danger. He approached the place where the woman would tempt him.

The young man was simple and lacked common sense. He did not think about wisdom. Perhaps his father never taught him. Perhaps the young man never listened to his lessons. Maybe he forgot about wisdom. Regardless of the reason, they are only excuses. The fact is that he made a conscious choice to cross the street and put himself clearly on the path of danger.

In verse 9, the young man was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Did this happen by accident? We will never just find ourselves in situations where we are confronted with irresistible temptations. In this story, we see the simple and naïve young man made two premeditated and conscious choices. First, the time of day that he chose to go for a walk was in the evening when prostitutes usually begin their trade. Second, he chose to cross over to the side of the street where he would place himself clearly in her path.

Even when we are strong, we might think wrong thoughts but will make the wise choices and prevent putting ourselves into situations where we are apt to fall into the temptation and sin. However, when we are weak, evil ideas can tempt us more easily. We will find it very difficult to resist when we are tempted.

If we want to avoid falling into sin, we must not allow ourselves to be placed in situations where we find it hard to resist. We need to fully understand and accept that there is no situation that is impossible to resist. The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the church in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 10:13, “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”

Back to our story, we see that it was twilight, and this young man may have wanted to experience some night life. The young man was looking for fun. He did not trust in God that he could have fun and enjoy life in other ways. He was very weak.  We need to be very careful and realize that the evil one, Satan, wants to destroy us as is written in 1 Peter 5:8, “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” We must stand firm and trust in God.

One of the interesting aspects of God’s Word is that it tells it like it is – the good, the bad, and the ugly. In today’s passage, we see why it is so important to know and understand your values, so when you need to make choices, you make wise choices. Tomorrow we will continue to see how the story of this naïve and simple young man plays out based on the decisions that he made. We will continue with Chapter 7 verse 10. So, encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our podcast for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, I encourage you to help us promote Wisdom-Trek in the following four ways:
