Meet Her At The Crossroads! by Myra Boozer

"Does not wisdom call out, And understanding lift up her voice?" BUT WHO IS LISTENING? Only the wise will hear! "She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, Where the paths meet. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors," Proverbs 8:1-3, NKJV.

Wisdom is calling to everyone of us...but some, just don't have time to listen...they are too busy making plans and settling deals with whomever they choose. They decide to walk right on by Wisdom and give her no attention as though she wasn't even there. Too many today are so hasty and determined to be their own guide that they have forgotten to seek God for wisdom. Wisdom is a choice, you see. We don't have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Wisdom is there,"beside the gate." Every decision one makes has an entrance but before we proceed further, we can take time to seek wisdom. She (wisdom) is not overbearing or rude but she is there standing strong and firm. She is at the entrance of every door. She is on the face of every decision...she is available. We can embrace her or we can ignore her “No." She is not without price...for she is only available to those will lay down their ideas, their plans, their desires and seek after the righteousness of God. No, she is not immediate, for it takes time to rid oneself of the earthly, carnal selfish desires and lean fully on the heart of God...knowing that He is the Master Planner of our lives. He is the One who knows everything from front to back. He knows us and the plans He has for us. He is the one who made us creatures of choice and He willingly gives wisdom to all who will choose her.

What a great honor it is to meet "Wisdom " at every crossroad. With so much uncertainty and days of difficulty to even know who is telling the truth and who isn't... o figure out the puzzle and get out of the maze created by the worldly system requires more than my mind can conceive...I must have wisdom, for she is from God. He has placed her there. She will not fail but notice she (Wisdom) is standing where the paths meet. That means we can go either way. We will go the way of the world unless we are firmly rooted and grounded in Christ. The way of the world is the broad way and leads to destruction. The narrow way will be the one where Wisdom is standing and offering Life Eternal. She is valuable, more precious than rubies and nothing you could ever desire can compare with her...see Proverbs 8:11
