    Proverbs 8:1-4 KJV
    Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? [2] She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. [3] She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. [4] Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

    It's telling us the essence of listening. Sometimes not all seemingly foolish advise is a foolish one

    Wisdom sometimes lies in the absurd aspect of the advices we get.

    Proverbs 8:5-8 KJV
    O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. [6] Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. [7] For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. [8] All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

    When I got to this verse of this chapter, I felt like Jesus was talking here

    Opening my heart in the receptive attitude is the best way to receive instructions

    Proverbs 8:9-12 KJV
    They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. [10] Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. [11] For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. [12] I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

    Instructions are more expensive than precious stones

    Proverbs 8:13-16 KJV
    The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. [14] Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. [15] By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. [16] By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

    I'm still thinking about this.

    It's like King Solomon got lost in the supernatural and began to prophesy

    Verse 14, 15 & 16 is the show of God praising himself

    God is understanding and, without him our brain would only be a lost field of precious instruments

    Proverbs 8:17-24 KJV
    I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. [18] Riches and honour are with me; yea , durable riches and righteousness. [19] My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. [20] I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: [21] That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. [22] The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. [23] I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. [24] When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

    Verse 17.... Hmm..... Early prayers in the morning is a secret of finding God faster.

    Individually its up to us to see God from a perspective based on our understanding of the word! The more we learn, the more he reveals himself to us

    Less of reveling of the mind and body and more sacrifice.

    We can't get to know God enough but we get to know him the more

    Creation displayed in block letters. "All things were made by him; without him, was not anything made that was made" John 1:3

    Proverbs 8:25-36 KJV
    Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: [26] While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. [27] When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: [28] When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: [29] When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: [30] Then I was by him, as one brought up with him : and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; [31] Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. [32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. [33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. [34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. [35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord . [36] But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

    The scripture was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by God! (It's a complete book)

    Jesus was making it clear in verse 27 of his presence in creation, during creation and after creation

    Let's learn to praise God in whatever way we can and with whatever we've got

    Prayer: That your praise oh Lord God would continually be on our lips and your joy would over come out sorrows in Jesus Name. Amen!
