The Blessings of Wisdom

Overview: Proverbs 7-9, 1 Corinthians 7:1-24

Watch: Proverbs 8 Visual Commentary by BibleProject

In Proverbs, the father’s invitation to his son to learn wisdom concludes with a contrast between Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly. In Proverbs 8, wisdom is personified as a great lady who represents the origin and purpose of true wisdom. The call of Lady Wisdom is to walk in the way of the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. 

“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
    and I find knowledge and discretion.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
    and perverted speech I hate.
I have counsel and sound wisdom;
    I have insight; I have strength.” - Provers 8:12-14

Paul addresses three issues raised by the Corinthians in a previous letter to him. The first issue concerns marriage and divorce, and what Christians should do if they find themselves in a divided home. Christians are called to be faithful in their marriages and to live lives that reflect the price that Christ paid for their freedom.
